Reducing Import Dependence
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.
