Import and export of oil seeds into india,

1. IMPORT AND EXPORT OF OIL SEEDS
INTO INDIA

2. India is the largest producer of oilseeds in the
world and oilseed sector occupies an
important position in the agricultural economy
of the country. Oilseeds are among the major
crops that are grown in the country apart from
cereals. In terms of acreage, production and
economic value, these crops are second only
to foodgrains. India is the fifth largest
vegetable oil economy in the world, next only
to USA, China, Brazil and Argentina, and has
an annual turnover of about Rs 80000 crore.
India accounts for 12-15 per cent of oilseeds
area, 7-8 per cent of oilseeds production, 6-7
per cent of vegetable oils production, 9-12 per
cent of vegetable oils import and 9-10 per cent
of the edible oils consumption.

3. Oilseeds occupy an important position in the
agricultural economy of India. The country is the
largest producer of oilseeds in the world and
contributes 7 per cent of the global vegetable oils
production with 14 per cent share in the area. The
growth in the domestic production of oilseeds has
not been able to keep pace with the growth in the
demand in the country. Low and unstable yields of
most oilseed crops, and uncertainty in returns to
investment, which result from the continuing
cultivation of oilseeds in rainfed, high risk
production environments, are the factors leading to
this situation of wide demand-supply gap.

4. The country now imports nearly half of the annual
consumption of 168 million tonnes. The Technology
Mission on Oilseeds (TMO) launched in 1986 was
the first comprehensive intervention aiming self-
sufficiency in edible oils production through the
spread of technology and provision of market
support. The Mission met with early success.
However, increasing demand for edible oils
necessitated the imports in large quantities leading
to a substantial drain on foreign exchange. Edible
oil imports increased from around 15 per cent of
total edible oils consumption in 1995-96 to nearly
53 per cent in 2009-10. The need for addressing this
deficit motivated a systematic study of the oilseeds
economy in order to formulate appropriate
strategies to bridge the demand-supply gap.

6. Major constraints in oil Domestic Production
of oilseeds
•Low productivity
•small farm size
•Lack of varital developement
•shifting of acerage from oil seeds to other
crops
•Losses due to pest and disease
•Vagaries of nature
