Most of the vegetable oil and ghee industries in Parsa and Bara districts have been affected after India imposed a ban on import of palm oil.

It is estimated that 90 percent of these industries are adversely affected due to restriction on import decreed by India. Large investments of industrialists are at risk following the decision.

Demand for palm oil is high in India and it is one of the major items of export for Nepal.
