The Definitive Gathering of the Global Edible Oils Trade, Where the global edible oil industry aligns. 29 years. 60 countries. 2,000 decision-makers. One room where the next era of trade is defined.

Where the global edible oils industry convenes and moves forward

The vegetable oils trade does not move forward in isolation. It moves when producers, refiners, traders, and policy shapers meet in the same room. When forward positions are taken with information that's hours old, not weeks old. When the next phase of the cycle gets defined out loud, in front of the desks that will act on it.

GLOBOIL India is the platform where that happens — at scale.

Across three days, the full value chain gathers in Mumbai: from palm estates in Indonesia and Malaysia, soy operators in Brazil and Argentina, sunflower in the Black Sea, to the Indian refining and retail capacity that now consumes the largest share of global imports.

This is not a trade show. It is where forward cover gets priced, where sponsorship deals become distribution agreements, where producer-consumer alignment gets built in corridors — not committees. READ MORE
