One of the several widely used cooking oils is canola oil, also known as rapeseed oil. However, soybean, rapeseed, palm, and peanut oils are the most commonly consumed edible oils in China; hence the production of these oils are emphasized, although "Western" oils and fats such as olive oil and butter are gaining in popularity. There is a massive consumption of rapeseed oil in the European Union, owing to its large production in the regional market and its extensive application in the biodiesel, animal feed and food, industries. Germany and France are the leading customers of rapeseed oil in the regional sector.

Additionally, Indonesia exports Crude Palm Oil (CPO) and its derivatives to more than 45 countries worldwide.

India one of the biggest Imported of Edible Oil Globally

Moreover, India is one of the largest importers of edible oils in the world. India does not even produce half of its edible oil requirements, mainly due to rainfed conditions, smallholding with limited resources, high seed cost, low seed replacement rate and low productivity. The nation has to rely on imports to meet the gap between demand and supply. India imports palm oil mainly from Indonesia and Malaysia and a small quantity of soft crude oil, including soybean oil from Argentina.
