The Uttar Pradesh government plans to increase the area under oilseeds cultivation from 22 lakh hectares to 27 lakh hectares to achieve the target of producing 100 lakh tonnes of additional oilseeds by 2030-31.

The aim is to become self-reliant in production of edible oils and pulses.

The Uttar Pradesh government has chalked out a strategy to boost the production of oilseeds and pulses and reduce the state’s dependence on imports to meet the domestic needs. Chief minister Yogi Adityanath had observed that the Bundelkhand region has immense potential in production of such crops, directing officials to prepare a concrete action plan to augment the production as per demand. The government also aims to increase productivity from 11 quintals per hectare to 12.5 quintals per hectare and total production from 22 lakh tonnes to 31 lakh tonnes, that is, additional 9 lakh metric tonnes of oilseeds, in the next five years.

The government will implement several measures to enhance its production, which includes seed production of new species in agricultural universities and Krishi Vigyan Kendras.

As many as 100 seed processing plants will be set up while agricultural production organisations will be encouraged for seed production. The seeds produced by farmers and other organisations will be distributed to farmers as grants available under various schemes through the Uttar Pradesh Beej Vikas Nigam.

The production area will be increased through intercropping with crops like jowar, bajra and sugarcane. Along with this, small and marginal farmers will be made self-sufficient in the production of oilseeds by giving them mini kits.
