Of this, around 3.5 million tons of palm oil are imported to meet local demand.<br \/>\nData from the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics indicates that during the first five months of the fiscal year 2024, the country imported 1.319 million tons of palm oil worth $1.26 billion.<br \/>\nThis marks an increase from the 1.248 million tons valued at $1.17 billion imported during the same period last year. The average price per ton has risen marginally to $954, compared to $941 in the previous year.<br \/>\nSheikh Umer Rehan, Chairman of the Pakistan Vanaspati Manufacturers Association (PVMA), attributed the price hike to fluctuations in international markets. \u201cGlobal palm oil prices had surged to $1,285 per ton before settling at $1,185. This also led to a reduction in the open market price of palm oil from Rs19,000 to Rs16,500 per mound,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nDespite these adjustments, smaller and medium-sized manufacturers, who dominate the market, have already reduced prices by Rs40 per kg\/liter. However, larger brands\u2014which account for 5% of the market share\u2014have been slower to implement price cuts due to their extensive marketing and distribution networks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD Amid inflationary pressures, the prices of ghee and cooking oil in Pakistan have witnessed a significant hike, with some branded products seeing an increase of up to Rs100 per litre.
