  • How much palm oil will India produce by 2025-26?
  • India currently produces palm oil on more than 3,00,000 hectares of land and plans to cover an additional area of 6,50,000 hectares by 2025-26. But, the palm oil mission proposes to cover an additional area of 6.5 lakh hectares by 2025-26 to increase crude palm oil (CPO) production to 11.2 lakh tonnes by 2025-26 and up to 28 lakh tonnes by 2029-30.
  • What is the integrated oil palm project?
  • This integrated Oil Palm project will include a cutting-edge oil palm factory (Palm Oil Processing and Refinery), a zero-discharge effluent plant, a palm waste-based power plant, and additional structures and go-downs for support purposes.
  • Where is palm oil grown in India?
  • The government has also announced that ecologically sensitive northeastern states and eastern archipelago of the Andaman and Nicobar islands will be used for cultivation of the oil. India currently produces palm oil on more than 3,00,000 hectares of land and plans to cover an additional area of 6,50,000 hectares by 2025-26.
  • How will India affect palm oil production?
  • Increasing demand from India will put pressure on the palm oil producers to increase production, which can be done immediately by increasing the land under oil palm plantations, by means of deforestation.
  • Should India expand oil palm cultivation?
  • India is the largest consumer and importer of palm oil in the world. Its demand for palm oil is expected to double by 2030, which cannot be sustained just by increasing the import quantity, as it would be exporting its biodiversity issues to the supplying countries. We support the Government of India¡¯s views to expand oil palm cultivation in India.
  • How many hectares are under oil palm cultivation in India?
  • As of January 2022, approximately 370,000 hectares were under oil palm cultivation. The programme seeks to cover an additional 650,000 hectares by 2025-26, with 328,000 targeted for India¡¯s Northeast region and 322,000 for the rest of the country, hitting a target of 1 million hectares. India¡¯s crave for palm oil is a relatively recent phenomenon.
