Nestle and PepsiCo discussed with Godrej Agrovet about sourcing refined palm oil locally for brands like Maggi and Lay’s. This shift comes due to rising global prices and logistics costs. Companies aim to shorten import cycles and avoid supply disruptions amidst geopolitical tensions. Currently, they import mainly from Indonesia and Malaysia but are now urged to increase local procurement. Trade analysts suggest that sourcing from India can help negotiate better prices, ensure quality, and reduce logistics expenses.
