Vegoils: Palm surges nearly 6% on higher soyoil prices, strong India demand

* Palm rises for third consecutive session 
    * Sept stocks could rise to 2.29 mln T - analyst
    * India's Aug palm oil imports rise over 87% m/m

    KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Malaysian palm oil futures
rose nearly 6% on Tuesday, tracking gains in rival soyoil on
bleak forecast for U.S. soybean harvest, while strong demand
from key buyer India provided an added boost. 
    The benchmark palm oil contract  FCPOc3  for November
delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange extended
gains to a third straight session, rising 217 ringgit, or 5.89%,
to 3,900 ringgit ($865.51) a tonne, its highest daily rise in
more than 6 weeks.
     India's palm oil imports in August jumped 87% from a month
ago to the highest level in 11 months as a sharp drop in prices
prompted refiners to ramp up purchases, a leading trade body
said on Tuesday.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N30K0LW
    Demand from India, the world's biggest vegetable oil
consumer, is expected to ramp up this month ahead of the festive
season in October.
    Exports during Sept. 1 to 10 rose between 9.3% and 25.5%
from the same period in August, cargo surveyors said.

    Malaysia's palm oil stocks at end-August climbed to their
highest in 33 months, as output rose with peak production season
getting underway, palm oil board data showed on Monday.

    Production is expected to keep rising in September and may
push inventories 9.2% higher to 2.29 million tonnes, Ivy Ng,
regional head of plantations research at CGS-CIMB Research, said
in a note. 
    CGS-CIMB Research projected crude palm oil prices to trade
in the 3,500-4,500 ringgit per tonne range due to tougher
competition from top producer Indonesia, although palm's high
discount against soyoil will encourage demand. 
    Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade  BOcv1  rose
1.9%, extending overnight gains after the U.S. Agriculture
Department said soybean supplies will fall to seven-year lows as
hot and dry weather during August in western growing areas hits
harvest potential.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N30J193 
    Dalian's most-active soyoil contract  DBYcv1  rose 3%, while
its palm oil contract  DCPcv1  gained 3.2%.
