Shun Malaysia, India's palm oil buyers told amid Kashmir standoff

NEW DELHI - India’s top vegetable oil trade body on Monday asked its members to stop buying palm oil from Malaysia, an unprecedented call aimed at helping New Delhi punish the country for criticizing India over its policy toward Kashmir.

India was Malaysia’s third-largest export destination in 2018 for palm oil and palm-based products worth 6.84 billion ringgit . Vegetable oil contributed 2.8% of Malaysia’s gross domestic product last year and 4.5% to total exports. “It would be in fitness of things, as responsible Indian vegetable oil industry, we avoid purchasing of palm oil from Malaysia till such time clarity on the way forward emerges from Indian government.”

“After the Reuters story, many importers stopped buying Malaysian palm oil,” said a Mumbai-based dealer with a global trading firm, requesting anonymity as he was not authorized to talk to media.

Also need to charge huge fees for whoever from India is going to Malaysia for tourism. Need to stop spending hard earned money on enemy country.

Well done India. No support for those who support our enemies.

Come on Indian's... Let's show that we are no more fools

We didn't tell anybody anything. They do it all by themselves. Why take Malaysian jihad oil. What's that country of Sharia law have to offer? Nothing.

It will also be better proposal to avoid use of Palm Oil (Palmoline) as cooking oil. Almost all Refund Oils available in India use a certain percentage of Palmoline which is otherwise very dangerous for the health.
