Abstract: Pakistan's imports of edible oils (palm and soybean-related imports) stood at US$ 4 billion in 2020-21 with an average growth of 12.3 percent in the last 20 years. The present report aims to evaluate the economic viability of import substitution of edible oil in Pakistan by focusing on canola and sunflower oil as alternatives to wheat production.
