India increased rapeseed meal exports to China by 39 times.
India’s rapeseed meal exports surged in 2025, led by a sharp rise in shipments to China, reaching 581.8 thousand tons. Exports to South Korea and Bangladesh declined, but overall exports rose to 1.25 million tons. Higher Chinese demand and increased rapeseed acreage supported the strong export performance.
According to preliminary estimates by the Vegetable Oil Exporters Association of India ( SEA ), India increased its rapeseed meal exports to China to 581.8 thousand tons in January-October this year, compared to only 14.9 thousand tons shipped in the same period a year ago; the export volume has grown more than 39-fold.
At the same time, supplies of Indian rapeseed meal decreased to South Korea – from 307.4 thousand tons to 131.3 thousand tons (which led to a reorientation of purchases from Canada and Japan), as well as to Bangladesh – from 382.5 thousand tons to 179.3 thousand tons (which was offset by an increase in domestic rapeseed processing).
Overall, India exported 1.25 million tonnes of rapeseed meal in the first ten months of this year, compared to 1.18 million tonnes shipped in January-October 2024, the association reports.
It was previously reported that rapeseed acreage in India would increase by 7-8% and reach a record level due to favourable weather conditions and demand from China.
