  • Why are oil seeds a problem in India?
  • This scenario explains lack of ecosystem and poor planning in India’s oil seeds and oil production. Micro-irrigation, quality seeds, marketing infrastructure and government policies are the four main concerns for oil seed and oil producers in India. Policy goof-ups, as in the above paragraph add to the woes of farmers.
  • Is policy affecting seed oil production in Maharashtra?
  • SB Wankhede, advisor of Seed Industry Association of Maharashtra, sharing his personal views on the issue said, “Policy is the major problem when it comes to increasing seed oil production. For years, farmers produced groundnuts and sunflower but with unseasonal rains and pests, they have turned to soya.
  • How many hectares of irrigated area do oil seeds grow in India?
  • But when it comes oil seeds, the coverage of the irrigated area is 27.8 per cent. From 5.16 MT in 1950-51 to 33. 42 MT in 2019-20, oil seed production in India has witnessed growth at a slow pace. The average per hectare yield of major oilseeds is over 50 per cent lower than average world yields in several crops.
  • What is seed oil extraction?
  • Seed oil extraction is primarily done to obtain oils from seeds for various purposes, including cooking, cosmetics, and industrial applications. The extraction process ensures that the oil content in seeds is separated efficiently and can be further processed for consumption or other uses. Why is refining seed oils considered a necessary step?
  • What is the importance of oilseed in India?
  • The oilseed accounts for 13% of the Gross Cropped Area, 3% of the Gross National Product and 10% value of all agricultural commodities. On Global basis, India ranks first in the production of castor, safflower, sesame and niger, second in groundnut, rapeseed and mustard, third in linseed, fifth in soybean and sunflower (Rai et al., 2016).
  • What is a major hinderance in spread of oilseeds?
  • 8. Quality seeds: One of the major hinderance in spread of oilseeds is the unavailability of adequate quality seeds. Efforts are needed on production of hybrid seed and promotion of hybrids having short stature, high oil content properties and varieties with short durations.
