China is readying to send a team to inspect Indian vegetable oil units days after it ordered a ban on the import of rapeseed meal, soybean meal, and oil meal from its South Asian neighbor, industry sources said.
China to inspect vegetable oil units in India
Rapeseed meal, soybean meal, and oil meal – by-products of vegetable oil production – have been imported from India to China for many years for use as cattle feed to the country’s burgeoning dairy and meat sector.
Last week China removed India from the list of countries that it would import the products from, after it found traces of malachite green contamination in Indian consignments.
Jute bags the scoundrels
According to a statement from the Indian Solvent Extractor’s Association (SEA), Chinese authorities claimed to have discovered 0.5-1 parts per billion of malachite green in consignments from India.
