HISTORY

The yellow revolution i.e. the oilseed revolution has a not-so

revolutionary history but it has certainly changed the face of

oilseed production in India.

Up to the year 1986, the oil seed production in India was virtually

stagnating at about 1 !illion tons per year. Till the !id "

eighties, the growth in output also lagged behind the growth in

de!and. This forced the govern!ent to resort to large scale

i!port of edible oil fro! other countries.

#eeing the, the govern!ent of India appointed the technology

!ission on oilseeds in !ay 1986, to create $ !anage the best ofproduction, processing and storage technologies to achieve self-

reliance in oilseed for India. % target of producing 16-18 !illion

tones of nine annual oilseeds that includes groundnut, !ustard,

soybean, sun&ower, sa'ower, sesa!e, (iger, linseed and castor,

was )*ed to cut down i!port by 199

+aiv andhi the then pri!e !inister of India and whose

govern!ent undertoo the oilseed revolution in India /uoted-

0ne of our biggest proble!s today in the agricultural sector is

the oilseeds. 2e are setting up a thrust !ission for oilseed

production. 2hen we tae a !ission, we !ean an e*ercise

starting fro! the engineering of seeds and )nishing with the

products of vegetable oils which is delivered to the consu!ers.

2e would tae to put on person in charge of such !ission with full

funding and no restrictions3. It was +aiv andhi4s vision that

changed the scenario of the oilseed production. 5arious policies

and cooperatives were set up to !ae India self sucient inoilseed prodection.

The oilseed mission

India is among the largest oil economies in the region/world. Thecountry also occupies a distinct position in terms of diversity inannual oilseed crops. The prevailing agro-ecological conditionshave been favourable for growing several important annualoilseeds, including edible {namely, groundnut, rapeseed-mustard,soybean, sunflower, safflower, sesame and niger) and non-edibleoilseeds {namely, castor and linseed). In addition, a wide range ofother minor oilseeds and oil bearing tree species add to thediversity as well as oilseed production in the country. India tocontinue its presence in the world market undertook the oilseedmission

The ission started functioning as a consortium of concerned!ovt. departments, namely, "gricultural #esearch and $ducation%&"#$), "griculture and 'ooperation %&o"'), 'ivil (upplies%&o'(), 'ommerce %&o'), (cience and Technology %&(T),iotechnology %&T), *lanning, +ealth, Irrigation and $conomic

"ffairs. The ission adopted a four-pronged strategy under thefollowing ini-issions

ini-ission-l Improvement of crop production andprotection technologies for realiing higher yields and profitto farmers.

ini-ission-ll Improvement of processing and post harvesttechnology to minimie the losses and increase the oil yieldfrom both traditional and non-traditional sources of oil.

ini-ission-IIl (trengthening the input support system toensure availability of right kind of seed, fertiliers, pesticides,irrigation, credit, etc. and to bring awareness among farmersabout the potential of the farm worthy technology throughmassive transfer of technology programmes.

ini- ission- I Improvement of post harvest operations foreffective procurement, handling, disposal including price

support system to farmers and financial and other supportsto processing industry.

The nodal departments, participating organisations and theirrespective functional areas under different ini-issions wereclearly defined to enable a smooth interaction, efficiency andeffective output.

Growth in Annual Oilseeds Production

Thanks to the ilseeds Technology ission, India witnessed a spurtin the annual oilseeds production. " series of synergistic and farmeroriented programmes launched by the ission along with better availabilityof crop production technologies, inputs, services and support price policy

were together responsible for the achievements.&uring the past decade, soybean registered the highest compoundannual growth rate of production followed by castor, sunflower andrapeseed-mustard %0ig. 1) .The simultaneous growth in area, productionand productivity observed under rainfed crops has no parallel inthe region/world. *resently, oilseeds occupy nearly 23 per cent ofthe gross cropped area and account for 4 per cent of the gross nationalproduct and 25 per cent of the value of all agricultural products.

"mong the oilseed crops, groundnut, rapeseed-mustard and

soybean recorded a ma6or share, in terms of both area %78 per cent)and production %98 per cent), of oilseeds in the countryIn terms of growth in productivity, castor topped the list followed bysunflower, soybean and safflower during 2:94-9; to 2::4-:;.

Oil seed crop production zones

The annual vegetable oilseeds are cultivated in 28 states %Table 4)of which eight states, namely, adhya *radesh, #a6asthan, "ndhra*radesh, !u6arat, adu accounted for nearly :5 per cent of the oilseeds area andproduction in the country. adhya *radesh state showed the highestarea and production, followed by #a6asthan, "ndhra *radesh and!u6arat. "mong different oilseeds, rapeseed-mustard is representedas ma6or oilseed crop in 7 states, groundnut in 8 states, and soybean,sesame and niger in one state each.

Oilseed TradeThe oilseed sector has made very important contribution towards0oreign e?change earning. This was achieved from the e?port of(oy meal, castor oil, oil cake/e?tractions, handpicked selection%+*() groundnut and sesame seed. In addition, e?port of brandededible oil in small packs has also been done. " progressiveincrease in the value of e?ports of oilseeds, oil meals and minoroils has been clearly observed. The national e?port earnings fromoilseeds crossed =( @ 2,555 million during the year 2::;-:7 ofwhich the contribution from e?ports of oil meals was =( @ :55

million

(ecrets of success

The following factors played their crucial role in bringing successto the oilseed mission and thereby the yellow revolution in India

B (trong socio-economic and political will to become self-sufficient in vegetable oils.

B iodiversity and the matching diversity in agro-ecology andfarming situations for various annual oilseed crops, inspite ofthe paucity of more prospective oil crops such as the oilpalm.B $conomically viable and sustainable improved oilseedsproduction technologies generated with the help of strong andvibrant oilseeds research network coupled with encouragingfinancial and policy supports to research.B "ttractive incentives to the farmers in terms of minimum support

prices and input subsidies.

B Institutional support for the overall oilseeds research anddevelopment by public, corporate and private sectors, particularlythe setting up of the Technology ission on ilseeds by the
