MUMBAI/NEW DELHI: India has informally asked palm oil refiners and traders to avoid buying Malaysian palm oil, government and industry sources said on Tuesday , following Malaysian criticism of India's actions in the Kashmir region and its new citizenship law.
"In Monday's meeting we have been verbally told to avoid buying Malaysian palm oil," the official said. The Indian government has made it clear it wants to punish Malaysia for these remarks and traders should support it, said another industry official. "There are some discussions going on but until they officially announce, we don't know whether it's true," said Kalyana Sundram, CEO of Malaysian Palm Oil Council, a state agency responsible for promoting palm oil.
