clearly aimed at reducing palm oil imports. reducing dependence on imports very much possible if the projected domestic oil palm cultivation takes off in big way.


"Currently, the country has only about 3.3 lakh hectares under oil palm, while the potential identified for it is 19.3 lakh hectares in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Kerala, Mizoram, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, and the other N-E States.

Two important constraints that impede area expansion programme under oil palm are the opportunity cost of land of farmers during a long gestation period of at least 3 years when no financial income flows to farmers and high cost of irrigation."

We should focus on textiles also, Bangladesh has increased their GDP with Textiles alone and we can also increase our GDP substantially by doing the same.
If iam right there was a report in December , where government was in mood to make textile cluster about 11 in number , also our yarn is of good quality we export to bangladesh too

We should dominate the textiles as imagine that textiles alone made Bangladeshi GDP per capita same as ours, then imagine how much can we gain by doing same, we would need 30 Such parks as India’s domestic demand alone is huge, like everyone buys textiles almost every week In any form. Export orders would be even better as we have a better soft power than Bangladesh like anyone would prefer Made in India over Made in Bangladesh.

11 parks are outside of present ecosystem , also we have economy of scale , Bangladeshi sector is much unorganized , most of the hub are export oriented , many indian manufacturer have order book filled till june 2021 from October last year , more order have been added by now, my concern is diversification ,we should make all quality and fabric and better designer , see at chinese product they are shiny outside but somewhat poor inside , if we package quality with fancy we can oust china too.

Raw material is also a problem

They do not see that because they live in cities. A lot has changed on Ground on farming sector and rural economy which has changed the lives of people in Rural area though it does not reflect in numbers in economy. Here are something which has changed.

India became 5th largest economy from 11th.

This year, India is going to end with a big Trade surplus after so many years.

97% Indian families have bank accounts.

Sanitation has reached 99%.

Electricity reached all villages

Tens of millions of houses are made and given to hundreds of People.

Free medical facility extended to millions of families.

Record FDI is flowing in.

Foreign exchange is rising like never before.

Yet, Nothing has changed.
kanchan Gupta’s commentary is on period 91 to 96, not today.

Is it true? Were intellectual class against economic reforms those days?

I didn’t have the habit of reading editorial or main page during those years, only international news and sports section.

Tata Steel SEZ's Gopalpur park to house Rs 300-cr edible oil plant


Since oilseed cultivation is planned in the eastern region of India, the refineries are being set up in that region.

please note folks, when ever Shekhar gupta says in his cut the clutter says that Indian economy was doing bad due to policies due to demonetisation in modi first term, what he is not telling us is that entire global economy was unstable in 2014-2017 period. This is largely due to problems in Chinese economy which has a domino effect in rest of the world economies during that period.

Why shld we promote palm oil when we know abt the bad affects of palm oil plantations on the rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia. The only benefit palm oil has is its cheap cost. Its harmful to health and shld not be consumed. Rather than promoting palm plantations, Govt shld boost production of local oilseeds such as mustard, peanuts, soyabean, sunflower. It wl be a boon for the consumer as well as farmers.

Palm oil accounts for 35% of the world's vegetable oil market ,soybean oil accounts for 28%
If you check infant formula, it has palm oil in it.
