Pakistan's palm oil import bill reached a record $3.785 billion in FY26, with volumes rising to 3.482 million tonnes. The average import price rose to $1,078 per tonne from $1,056 a year earlier, and FY27 sales tax changes are expected to raise retail ghee and cooking oil prices.
Rising import volumes and demand from Pakistan add to global palm oil demand, supporting prices, while reduced local cottonseed availability increases reliance on imported oils.
After 133 past bullish trade events, Palm Oil moved a median +0.7% over 5 sessions (64% higher; middle half -0.8% to +2.3%), and +1.7% over 20.
