The Thai Cabinet increased domestic palm oil supplies for cooking by at least 110,000 metric tons in February 2015 thru imports and a reduction in biodiesel mandates. These actions were reportedly taken to address concerns about cooking oil supplies prior to new crop palm oil being available in March. Palm oil accounts for about 60 percent of all cooking oil in Thailand.
