Nepalese Finance Minister Yuba Raj Khatiwada on India has banned imports of refined palm oil said, "25 percent of our exports to India is related to the palm oil industry, so that will adversely affect our industry. There was no prior indication, so it was like a shock."

"We do hope that the Indian government will reconsider its decision. We are discussing this through our diplomatic channel, if necessary we can also go through the political channel," he added.
