Supply of Edible Oil to Domestic Market in High Gear

A total of 30,000 tons of edible oil have been distributed by the Government Trading Corporation of Iran in the domestic market over the past three days, Mohammad Taqi Tabatabaie, the spokesman of the company, said on Sunday. 
“The strategic reserves of unprocessed oil are higher than in the last [Iranian] year [March 2019-20]; there is no problem or concern regarding any scarcity of the product,” he was quoted as saying by IRNA.
“Over the past 2-3 weeks, close to 50,000 tons of edible oil have been supplied to regulate the market; the Government Trading Corporation of Iran is planning to provide more of the essential product to meet domestic demand.”
Tabatabaie noted that other than a vessel, which unloaded its cargo of 42,000 tons of raw oil at Bandar Abbas, Hormozgan Province, on Thursday, the offloading operation of another container ship carrying 131,000 tons of unprocessed oil is underway at Imam Khomeini Port in the southwestern Khuzestan Province.
