Edible oils in India rely on imports with overall 60% dependence and upto 90% for Palm oil.

Factors for Reliance: 1) Lack of diversification and reducing land area => Just (29 mha) 2) High grain dependence for oilseeds eg. 75% 3) Low yield and lower processing eg. 50% of global yield average, Only 10% is processed 4) Overdependence on soybean and mustard - Comprehensive approach to boost production Way-forward: 1) Efficiency of irrigation and increasing yield.
