Indian Oilseed and Produce Export Promotion Council (IOPEPC)

Indian Oilseed and Produce Export Promotion Council (IOPEPC) is concerned with the promotion of various Oilseeds and Oils.

Formerly known as IOPEA, it was formed on 23 rd June 1956, at a preliminary meeting held in Bombay under the Presidentship of late Shri Lalji Mehrotra, former President of Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) and India’s one time ambassador to Myanmar and Japan.

The formation of IOPEA was, in fact, the first organized effort to promote and protect the interests of India’s export trade in commodities like Oilseeds, Vegetable Oils and Oilcakes in a collective and concerted manner through a representative body.
