....The DGFT's amendment to SION E-124 involves a detailed specification of the quantities and types of inputs allowed to be imported for the production of 1 Metric Tonne (MT) of Refined Sunflower Oil for export. The amended norms specify the quantity of Crude Sunflower Oil (Edible Grade) with a Free Fatty Acid (FFA) range of 0.5 to 1.8% to be 1.033 MT for every 1 MT of the export product. This indicates a clear allowance for the loss in weight during the refining process and ensures that exporters can import a slightly higher quantity of crude oil than what is exported in its refined form. Additionally, the notice specifies the quantities of chemicals required in the refining process, including Caustic Lye (2.500 kg), Phosphoric acid (0.165 kg), Citric acid (0.020 kg), TONSIL Bleaching earth (2.000 kg), and Filter Aid (3600 Kg).....
