MUMBAI India's July edible oil imports were set to jump to a record 1.86 million tonnes, nearly 60% more than normal, as refiners raised purchases to build stocks for festivals amid uncertainty over supplies from the Black Sea, dealers and cargo surveyors said on Tuesday (July 25). Higher purchases by the world's biggest importer of vegetable oils could help Malaysia and Indonesia bring down palm oil stocks and support benchmark futures, trading near their highest level in 4½ months. It would also support soyoil futures and help key sunflower oil-producing Black Sea countries in reducing inventories.

One of Ayala Land Inc.'s flagship shopping malls—and its oldest—will be torn down by the first half of next year to make way for a new property development, a ranking official of the property developer confirmed to Biz Buzz on Tuesday.

Tax continues to feature heavily in the Election with the ongoing debate over the validity or otherwise of National's proposed foreign buyer tax. But away from the election, it has been a busy week in the tax world. By far the most interesting story, partly because of its source, but also how it speaks to the structure of our tax system, is the commentary from Matt Whineray, the outgoing chief executive of the New Zealand Superannuation Fund (NZSF), about the fund's tax status. In an interview with the New Zealand Herald's Markets with Madison , he remarked on the NZSF's tax status, noting that since the fund began investing in 2003, it had paid nearly $10 billion in tax, including $2.

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- While formula-feeding babies is a safe and convenient option, research studies have shown natural breastfeeding is linked to numerous health benefits for both mother and child. For mothers, breastfeeding can improve recovery after giving birth and lower the risks of cancer. For babies, the nutrients strengthen their immune system and help lower their risk of developing obesity and diabetes. Now, a new study at the University of Missouri Sinclair School of Nursing is helping researchers better understand the factors that influence moms, particularly in rural areas where breastfeeding is less common, when deciding how to feed their babies.
