Adani Wilmar, which sells edible oils under the Fortune brand, on Saturday said production of cooking oils has declined by 40 per cent due to labour shortage in the current lockdown, resulting in tight supplies of the essential commodity.
Sales of cooking oils too have fallen 25 per cent with closure of all hotels, restaurants and cafeterias because of the lockdown to control Covid-19, said Angshu Mallick, deputy CEO of Adani Wilmar.
