India Solvent Extracted Rice Bran Oil (Grade 2) Prices Trend (₹/MT)

Key Takeaway

• Factors affecting Solvent Ext. R.B. Oil RG-II (Industrial) prices: Prices are primarily influenced by paddy production, rice milling activity, raw rice bran availability, extraction volumes, oil recovery rates and rice bran oil inventories. Since the product is solvent-extracted and intended for industrial use, raw bran prices, oil content, extraction efficiency, processing costs and solvent-extraction margins directly affect pricing. Demand from oleochemical, soap, fatty-acid, lubricant, industrial and other non-edible applications is a key driver, while the relative prices of other vegetable oils and industrial feedstocks influence substitution. Crude oil and petrochemical prices, industrial production, demand for bio-based products, and prices of competing oils such as soybean and palm oil can also affect its competitiveness.
• Product-specific factors including RG-II specifications, FFA, moisture, wax content, impurities, colour and refining requirements create price differentials. Additionally, seasonal rice milling patterns, inventory levels, processing capacity, transportation costs, regional industrial demand, government policies and trader activity contribute to short-term price movements.
