Reducing Import Dependence

- SANDIP DAS

THE GOVERNMENT IS aiming to revive cultivation of sunflower in states, including Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana.

The oilseed will be cultivated as a summer crop and by replacing some rabi paddy area.

After a gap of over a decade, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana took up sunflower as summer crop in the 2024-25 season under the national mission on edible oils.

The mission aims to reduce the import dependence for edible oil from the current level of 57% to 28% by 2032.

Out of the total edible oils import of 15.96 million tonne (MT) in 2023-24 oil year (November-October) crude sunflower oil import was 3.5 MT or 22%.

India mostly imports sunflower oils from Ukraine.
