The recent increase in duties on the import of crude and refined edible oils has resulted in an increase of about ₹2,500 on every tonne of an FFB (Fresh Fruit Bunch) of oil palm, bringing cheers to thousands of farmers in the country. The price, which used to be about ₹14,390 before the increase in import duty, rose to over ₹17,000, a rise of ₹2,610.
