National Mission on Edible Oil-Oil Palm (NMEO-OP)

• National Mission on Oilseeds and Oil Palm (NMOOP) was
• implemented during the 12th Five Year Plan, to expand the oil palm areas and increase the production of edible oils.
• It was later merged with the National Food Security Mission.
• NMEO-OP aims resolve to allow India to be independent or self-reliant in edible oil production.
• Through this mission, more than ₹11,000 crore will be invested in the edible oil ecosystem
• The government will ensure that farmers get all needed facilities, from quality seeds to technology.
• Along with promoting the cultivation of oil palm, this mission will also expand the cultivation of our other traditional oilseed crops

Why is their need of such mission?

India is one of the major oilseeds grower and importer of edible oils.

• India’s vegetable oil economy is world’s fourth largest after USA, China & Brazil.
• The oilseed accounts for 13% of the Gross Cropped Area, 3% of the Gross National Product and 10% value of all agricultural commodities.
• During the last few years, the domestic consumption of edible oils has increased substantially and has touched the level of 18.90 million tonne in 2011-12 and is likely to increase further.
• A substantial portion of our requirement of edible oil is met through import of palm oil from Indonesia and Malaysia.
• Through this mission, more than ₹11,000 crore will be invested in the edible oil ecosystem
• The government will ensure that farmers get all needed facilities, from quality seeds to technology.
• It is, therefore, necessary to exploit domestic resources to maximize production to ensure edible oil security for the country.
