Major Constraints in Yield Improvement of Oilseeds Continued dependence on rainfed production system leading to larger fluctuation in area and yield with larger variation in groundnut. Agro-climatic limitations like adaptability of mustard under saline soil / low water areas of >4 million ha; groundnut under low rainfall / drought prone areas of >2 million ha and soybean under upland black cotton soils of >10 million ha. Farmers’ priority to cereals under irrigated condition due to assured buy back. Availability of cheaper imported vegetable oil with admissible blending depressing domestic markets of oilseeds leading to area stagnation. Lack of assured procurement of oilseeds.

Strategies for Oil Seeds Increasing SRR with varietal replacement Promotion of new varieties through minikits / FLDs Area expansion under protective irrigation Area expansion through diversification of low yielding cereals, use of rice fallows and inter cropping Enhancing procurement of oilseeds

Frontier Technologies Ridge-furrow / Broad-bed-furrow technologies in soybean and groundnut Line sowing in mustard. Sprinkler irrigation in groundnut and rapeseed-mustard Use of drip irrigation and hybrid in castor Application of gypsum in groundnut Intercropping groundnut and soybean with arhar

Key Interventions Production of foundation/certified seed> 8 lakh qtl Distribution of > 14.0 lakh seed minikits of less than 10 years old varieties of oil seeds including 6.4 lakh minikits of < 5 year old varieties of mustard Distribution of > 2.6 lakh qtl certified seed Demonstration of improved technologies- 2.75 lakh ha. Supply of farm machinaries (> 24,000) and drip / sprinkler (30,000) National kisan melas (5) / exhibitions (3) and farmers' training

Way Forward Larger support for protective irrigation and mechanization Strengthening seed chain for promotion of newly released variety / hybrids Assured procurement support with competitive prices over food grain to encourage diversification of areas Processing support both for oilseeds and oil palm in new non traditional areas
