THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS, FOOD AND PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION ( SHRI V. SREENIVASA PRASAD )
(a),(b) & (c): The demand for edible oils for the whole country has been assessed by the
Government to be 96.43 lakh MT for the Oil Year 1999-2000 (Nov, 1999 to Oct, 2000) However,
state-wise demand for oils has not been assessed.
No State-wise quota for allocation of imported edible oils for the PDS is fixed by
the Central Government. Allocation is made on the basis of demand received from the States/UTs
for a particular year and after taking into account relevant factors like prices and
availability of indigenous edible oils, availability of oil in the Central Pool, past off-take
of States/UTs, etc.
A statement showing State-wise demand, allocation and lifting by States/UTs during the
last three financial years is enclosed (Annex.I).
(d) There is no proposal at present. During the last year or so, the states have not
lifted the quantities allotted, thanks to the comfortable position of open market availability
and prices.
(e) Does not arise.
