Agricultural Situation In IndiaSummary: Oilseeds have been the backbone of India’s agricultural economy since long. During 2018-19, nine major oilseed crops were cultivated in India on about 255 lakh hectares, with the total production of 323 lakh tonnes and an average yield of 1265 kg per hectare. However, the increasing demand for edible oils has necessitated the imports in large quantities which have lead to a substantial drain of foreign exchange. Hence, the study is carried out to find out the status of oilseeds in area, production and productivity during the period 1989-90 to 2018-19. The study shows that of the nine oilseed crops, three crops viz.; groundnut, rapeseed-mustard and soybean contribute 86.42 percent in area and 90.95 percent in production of the total oilseed. It is revealed that the compound growth rate of oilseed in area, production and yield shows a positive value in the whole period and in three sub periods. Since yield is the main determinant factor in the production, the instability in yield of groundnut and soybean is highest and so it requires special attention. – Reproduced
