In last three months the export of oilmeals improved compared to the previous year, thanks to good monsoon, better oilseeds production and price parity. In percentage terms export showing improvement, but still it is lower compared to earlier years, which can be seen from the below table. It may be also noted that India faced drought years during 2014-15 and 2015-16, which lead to lower production of oilseeds which affected export of oilmeals to a lowest level, however with good monsoon last year, export revived to some extent.
