India looks to tap Chinese demand as global rapeseed meal prices rise
India may become a key supplier of rapeseed meal to China if Beijing eases its stringent trade restrictions on the commodity, according to industry body Solvent Extractors Association of India (SEA). A shortage of rapeseed meal in the European Union has driven global prices significantly higher. China, a major consumer, currently imports the protein-rich animal feed primarily from Canada and the EU. "Given the current supply constraints and rising prices, India has a renewed opportunity to explore and recapture its lost share in the Chinese market," Mumbai-based SEA said in a statement. Indian rapeseed meal is currently priced at USD 209 per tonne free alongside ship (FAS) at Kandla port, substantially lower than the USD 335 per tonne being quoted ex-Hamburg in the international market. "Leveraging this opportunity could not only boost India's exports but also help stabilize prices in the international market," SEA added. India, the world's third-largest rapeseed producer, ...

China's export curbs to impact electronics, EV firms in India: GTRI
Indian firms in the electronics, solar, and electric vehicle (EV) sectors are experiencing delays and disruptions due to China's restrictions on export of key inputs and machinery, economic think tank GTRI said on Thursday. It said the curbs could be China's response to India's restrictions on Chinese investments and visas. "This also signals deeper geopolitical tensions and trade war. We hope India-specific restrictions go away soon as they will also hurt China," Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) Founder Ajay Srivastava said. He added that while these measures impact India's electronics, solar, and EV sectors, they are also harmful to China's own manufacturing and exports. "Indian firms in electronics, solar, and EV sectors are facing delays and disruptions as China blocks exports of inputs and machinery," it said. India must stay firm against unreasonable demands from China and focus on building local manufacturing capabilities and diversifying supply chains, he ...
