Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

Vegetable oils

Solution :

The correct option is Vegetable oils.


Explanation:

Among all agricultural commodities imported into India, vegetable oils consistently account for the largest share in terms of value.


India is one of the world's largest consumers and importers of edible/vegetable oils (such as palm oil, soybean oil, and sunflower oil). Due to high domestic demand that exceeds local production capacity, India spends a significant portion of its agricultural import bill on vegetable oils, far surpassing imports of other commodities like pulses, fresh fruits, or spices.
