  • Will higher rapeseed output help India reduce oil imports?
  • Indian farmers produced 8.5 million tonnes of rapeseed in the 2020-21 crop year, the COOIT estimates. Higher rapeseed output will help India to reduce expensive imports of vegetable oils. In the 2020/21 oil year to Oct. 31, India spent a record 1.17 trillion rupees ($15.71 billion) on vegetable oil imports.
