How can NITI Aayog's recommendation on oil seed production impact import dependency in India
NITI Aayog suggests increasing oil seed production and reducing consumption to address import dependency in edible oil.
- Increased oil seed production can lead to higher domestic availability of edible oil, reducing the need for imports.
- Reducing consumption can help in balancing the demand-supply gap, further decreasing reliance on imported edible oil.
- This strategy can enhance India's self-sufficiency in meeting its edible oil requirements, decreasing import dependency.
- Higher oil seed production can also boost income for farmers and promote agricultural growth in the country.
- By focusing on increasing domestic production, India can save foreign exchange spent on importing edible oil, leading to a more sustainable economy.
