New Delhi: Indonesia has agreed to increase import of Indian sugar and auto parts as India has increased Palm oil import from it due to India’s spat with rival supplier Malaysia. According to the reports, Indian government officials confirmed this to news agency Reuters.
India is the biggest buyer of edible oil and Indonesia and Malaysia are the largest producers with 85 per cent world production.
Taking note of Malaysian criticism of India over Kashmir issue, India jas halted the import of refined palm oil from it since January. The dispute between India and Malaysia is likely to benefit Indonesia.
