Feb 24, 2022 3:11 AM

According to news reports, India imports 60 percent of its total edible oil requirement and that 70 percent of India's sunflower oil imports are from Ukraine and 10 percent are from Russia. Angshu Mallick, MD and CEO of Adani Wilmar discussed the impact of the ongoing geopolitical crisis on the business.

Worldwide 90 percent of the sunflower oil is produced by Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine has more surplus so India imports more from Ukraine, he said.
