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. With subsequent setting up of sectoral Associations for different oilcakes and extraction cakes, IOPEPC concentrated it's attention and activities mainly on productivity and export of oilseeds and vegetable oils. IOPEPC is thus the pioneer body for oilseeds and oils in the country.

IOPEPC has a diverse membership: manufacturer-exporters, merchant-exporters, traders, brokers, and service providers such as freight brokers, superintendents, surveyors, commission agents, fumigators etc., actively connected with the export trade in oilseeds and oils.

Since 1991, IOPEPC has been functioning as the Indian liaison office of FOSFA International , London and is also a kindred Association Member of FOSFA. The Peanut Councils of developed countries like Germany, Netherlands, UK and USA have already recognized IOPEPC as the main representative from India.

We, at IOPEPC, do not rest on past laurels and strive to achieve many more things. We are committed to put in our best efforts for betterment of the trade.
