Oil seeds
India is the 4th largest oilseeds producer in the world. It has 20.8% of the total area under cultivation globally, accounting for 10% of global production. The country produces groundnut, soybean, sunflower, sesamum, niger seed, mustard and safflower oilseeds.
Nearly 72% of the oilseeds area is restricted to rainfed farming done by small farmers which led to poor productivity. However, a breakthrough was realized in oilseed production through introducing latest crop production technologies. Consequently, the oilseed production grew to 365.65 tonnes in 2020-21 from 108.3 lakh tonnes in 1985-86.
The production of oilseeds in India has been growing for the last five years. In 2020-21, the production of the country was 365.65 lakh tonne which was a 10% increase from that of the previous year. From the years 2015-16 to 2020-21, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of production was 7.7%. This was achieved due to implementation of various programs like special programmes on mustard & rapeseed during Rabi and cluster demonstrations of improved technology by the Government of India.
