*Indian Rapeseed Meal Exports May Rise if China Relaxes Import Curbs* •India is looking to reclaim its share in China’s rapeseed meal market by capitalizing on its lower prices compared to the global rate. The Solvent Extractors’ Association has asked the Commerce Ministry to negotiate with China for relaxed import rules, as only three Indian facilities are currently approved to export there. With supply constraints in Canada and the EU, India has a strong chance to expand its exports if restrictions ease. •However, the oilmeal sector is facing rising competition from DDGS, an ethanol by-product increasingly used in animal feed, which may reduce demand for traditional meals like rapeseed and soybean. Although India has seen a record harvest of soybean and mustard, weak export demand due to price disparities has limited growth. In April, oilmeal exports rose slightly, led by rapeseed and soybean meal.
