India is predominantly an agricultural economy and prosperity of its people
depends upon the progress of its agricultural sector. It can be said for the Indian
economy that its development is the function of agricultural development. India, an
emerging economy, has witnessed unprecedented levels of economic expansion.
Agriculture continues to be a dominant sector in the Indian economy. The direct
contribution of the agriculture sector to national economy is reflected by its share in total
gross domestic product (GDP), its foreign exchange earnings and its role in supplying
saving and labour to other sectors.
After getting self sufficiency in food grain availability the development agencies
try to find out the development in oilseed production because of high gap between
demand and supply of oilseed in the country. Oilseeds are the most important sources
of supply of edible oil in the country. Indian vegetable oil economy is the fourth largest in
the world next only to USA, China and Brazil. Our country has distinction of having
around 19 per cent of the total world’s oilseed area and accounts for 10 per cent of the
world’s oilseed production. However, the productivity in India was only less than 10
quintal/ha as compared to the world average of about 18 quintal/ha. Research
infrastructure wise, India has vast network of oilseed research and development
programmes and has the distinction of having impressive scientific and technical
manpower. In the past two decades, the attainment of compound growth rate of 6.5 per
cent in India’s vegetable oil production front as against the world average compound
growth rate of 3.5 per cent clearly shows the immense potential of our Indian vegetable
oil sector to meet the future challenges.
In the domestic agriculture sector, oilseeds occupy a distinct position after
cereals sharing 13 per cent of the country’s gross cropped area and accounting for
nearly 3 per cent of the gross national product (GNP) and 10 per cent of the value of all
agricultural products. The oilseed sector has been playing major role in not only
reducing the gap in domestic demand and supply but also in earning valuable foreign
exchange from its by-products. The major annual oilseed crops growing states are
Madhya Pradesh (22.2%), Gujarat (12.8%), Rajasthan (13.6%), Maharashtra (11.8%),
Andhra Pradesh (10.7%), Karnataka (9.4%), Tamil Nadu (3.1%) and Uttar Pradesh
(4.8%). Punjab, Uttaranchal, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, Jammu
and Kashmir, West Bengal, Orissa, Kerala and north-eastern states are covering
remaining (11.6%) of oilseed growing area. In India, amongst the total oilseeds the
groundnut ranks first contributing (32.4%) of the total output followed by soybean
(31.1%), rapeseed and mustard (24.5%) and the other six oilseed crops (12.0%). The
production of 29.46 million tonnes (total) oilseeds in India shows the importance of
oilseed in Indian economy. The importance of oil seed economy in India also reflected
that the edible oil industry of the country comprises of 50,000 expellers, 600 solvent
extraction plants, 300 vegetable oil refineries and 175 hydrogenation plants. The edible
oil sector occupies a distinct position in Indian economy as it provides job to millions of
people. It achieves on an average a domestic turn over of US $10 billion per annum and
earns foreign exchange of US $90 million per annum.
On the other hand, per capita oil consumption in India is only 10.6 kg/annum,
which is low compared to 12.5 kg/annum in China, 20.8 kg/annum in Japan, 21.3
kg/annum in Brazil and 48.0 kg/annum in USA. India,s edible oil consumption is
traditionally region specific. Coconut, peanut and sunflower oil are widely consumed in
South India, peanut and cotton seed oil are used in Gujarat, rapeseed oil is used in
north east India, while soybean oil is more used in central India. Growing population,
good supply conditions and rising income levels of Indian consumers are likely to
contribute an increase in edible oil consumption. Edible oil consumption in India in
marketing year 2012-13 was forecasted at about 18 million tonnes. The vegetable oil
deficit in the same year was of more than 10 million tonnes. Soybean, rapeseed and
peanut oils are the next largest edible oil after palm oil, consumption estimated at 2.9,
2.4 and 1.3 million tonnes respectively.
The oilseed scenario in the country has undergone change in the last three
decades. India has emerged from a net importer of edible oil in 1980s to a net exporter
status during the early 1990s. It has again become a net importer accounting for more
than 40 per cent of annual edible oil needs. The major contributors for the spectacular
success during early 1990s were the oilseed production technology, the expansion in
