Among the agricultural commodities imported by India, which one of the following accounts for the highest imports in terms of value in the last five years?

Vegetable oils consistently account for the largest share (roughly 50–60%) of India’s agricultural import bill by value due to a massive gap between stagnant domestic production and rising consumption. While pulses were historically a major import, their value has significantly declined in recent years due to increased domestic yields and government-imposed import restrictions. This question tests the core concept of India’s **Agricultural Trade Profile** and the structural dependencies within its balance of trade.
