Based on the interaction with all the States and Edible Oil Industry Associations, the need for greater transparency was felt. As a follow-up action the Department of Food and Public Distribution is in the process of creating a web portal for monitoring the stocks of Edible Oils/Oilseeds on a weekly basis in the country. The data on the portal will be submitted by millers, refiners, stockists and wholesalers etc. States have also issued directions for the display of retail price prominently to ensure fair pricing.
