Agricultural Situation in IndiaSummary: This paper draws attention to one of the important issue on the dynamics of Indian oilseed sector, in the backdrop of self-sufficiency in oilseed production in the country. First, it attempts to discern crop production niches, annual swings in area –crop wise, reasons for reduction in oilseed area, government schemes for oilseed promotion, etc. Second, how best the area can be increased under oilseeds with the current government interventions in the country. To gain insights on the oilseed area, secondary data were used to derive conclusions. This paper examines the journey of oilseeds sector during the past decade (2010-19) in terms of area, production and productivity swings/trends annually, and the ameliorative measures to be initiated to make good the shortfalls to sustain the supply chain of oil in the country. The results revealed that India is the leading castor producer (86 percent share of global production). For groundnut, rapeseed-mustard and sesame, the production varies between 10-20 percent of global production while other crops viz., soybean, linseed, safflower and sunflower, it is below 10 percent of global production. It is concluded that oilseed cultivation may be promoted in non-traditional areas and seasons as well as in rice fallows for horizontal intensification of oilseed area and production. – Reproduced
