ABOUT GLOBOIL

The defining gathering of the global edible oils trade.

For 29 editions since 1997, GLOBOIL India has been where producers, refiners, traders, analysts, and policy leadership convene — in the world's largest importing region — to price the next 12 months of the trade.

29 YEARS · 29 EDITIONS · SINCE 1997

The legacy in numbers

GLOBOIL India launched in 1997 as Asia's first dedicated international edible oils conference. From 60 delegates in its inaugural year to over 2,000 today. From a single-day gathering to a 3-day convening. From a regional event to a platform that draws delegations from 60+ countries.

In 29 editions, GLOBOIL has weathered every major inflection in the global vegetable oils trade:

The 1998 Asian financial crisis and its impact on palm oil demand
The 2007-08 biofuel pivot and the commodities super-cycle
The 2014 crude oil crash and its downstream effects
The 2020 COVID disruption (the only edition skipped — the reason we're the 29th and not the 30th)
The 2022 Russia-Ukraine war and the Black Sea sunflower realignment
The 2024-26 Indonesia B-series mandates and the structural palm supply tightness

Across every cycle, GLOBOIL has been the annual convening where the trade reads the next phase.
