India Overtakes Ukraine as Top Sunflower Oil Supplier to Domestic Market

In a notable shift in global edible-oil trade flows, Russia has become the leading supplier of sunflower-oil to India, surpassing Ukraine. The pivot follows supply disruptions from Ukraine and Russia’s enhanced export capacity. India’s heavy reliance on edible-oil imports makes this transition significant for pricing and import-policy implications. Traders say the change highlights how geopolitical and supply-chain risks are reshaping commodity sourcing in one of the world’s largest importers of oils and fats.
