# Palm Oil Market: India Shifts Toward Malaysia, Indonesia Slips to No.3

> Argentina and Malaysia have overtaken Indonesia as India's leading vegetable oil suppliers in 2025/26. India imported 3.42 million tonnes of vegetable oil from Argentina, 2.97 million from Malaysia and 2.90 million from Indonesia between November 2025 and September 2026. Malaysian palm stocks are at or near record levels while Indonesian prices remain firm.

## Why it matters

The shift in India's supplier mix changes palm oil trade routes and premiums, with Malaysia gaining share while Indonesia's biodiesel-driven exports lose ground. Record Malaysian stocks against steady Indonesian prices point to limited near-term price direction.
