Indian soybean oil: domestic production, processing, and market structure

India cultivates approximately 10–13 million tonnes of soybeans annually — Madhya Pradesh is by far the largest producing state (accounting for approximately 45–50% of total Indian soybean production), followed by Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Karnataka. Indian soybean varieties are predominantly non-GMO — India has not approved commercial cultivation of GM soybean varieties for food/feed, unlike GM cotton (Bt cotton) which is widely grown. Indian soybeans are typically harvested September–October (Kharif season). India is a major soybean oil importer despite domestic soybean production, because India's total edible oil consumption (approximately 22–25 million tonnes/year) far exceeds domestic oilseed production capacity. India imports 3–5 million tonnes of soybean oil annually, predominantly from Argentina (the world's largest soybean oil exporter) and Brazil. Significant port-based refining capacity exists at Kandla (Gujarat — the largest edible oil import/refinery complex in India), Mundra (Adani port, Gujarat), and Nhava Sheva (Mumbai, Maharashtra). Major soybean oil processors and distributors in India: Adani Wilmar Limited (AWL — joint venture between the Adani Group and Wilmar International, the largest branded edible oil company in India) markets soybean oil under the Fortune brand; Ruchi Soya Industries (now owned by the Patanjali Group, founded by Baba Ramdev) markets soybean oil under the Nutrela and Ruchi Gold brands; Gemini Edibles & Fats India (formerly the Cargill India edible oil business, sold to KKR in 2015); Bunge India; and numerous regional refiners in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh.
