Among the agricultural commodities imported by India, which one of the following accounts for the highest imports in terms of value in the last five years?

Among the agricultural commodities imported by India, vegetable oils (edible oils) consistently account for the highest value of imports over the last several years. India is a major consumer of edible oils and has a significant demand-supply gap, which is largely met through imports. Palm oil, soybean oil, and sunflower oil are the primary vegetable oils imported. While India also imports spices, fresh fruits, and pulses, the value of vegetable oil imports far surpasses these categories. Pulses were a significant import category earlier, but domestic production initiatives have aimed to reduce dependence, though imports still occur. However, vegetable oils remain at the top in terms of import value among agricultural commodities.
