  • What is india's soybean oil production in 2023/24?
  • india’s soybean oil production for MY 2023/24 is 1.7 MMT, a slight decrease from MY 2022/23 but still a relatively high-level owing to consistent yields and total supply of oilseeds used for “crush-to-oil” over the last two years. As domestic feed and food demand is higher, indian soybean oil exports are minimal.
  • Why is soybean a major rainfed oilseed crop in india?
  • Introduction of soybean has resulted in an enhancement in the cropping intensity and resultant increase in the profitability per unit land area. In india, soybean will continue to remain a major rainfed oilseed crop. A number of varieties that have been bred have resulted in this unprecedented growth.
  • Where is soybean grown in india?
  • As a result, soybean has been traditionally grown on a small scale in Himachal Pradesh, the Kumaon Hills of Uttar Pradesh (now Uttaranchal), eastern Bengal, the Khasi Hills, Manipur, the Naga Hills, and parts of central india covering Madhya Pradesh.
  • Which agro-climatic zone is used for soybean cultivation in india?
  • Soybean has become an important oilseed crop in india in a very short period with approximately 10-million ha area under its cultivation. india is divided into five agro-climatic zones for soybean cultivation. These are northern hill zone, northern plain zone, north eastern zone, central zone, and southern zone.
  • What is the Numero Uno oilseed crop in india?
  • Soybean is the numero uno oilseed crop in india. Soybean has become an important oilseed crop in india in a very short period with approximately 10-million ha area under its cultivation. india is divided into five agro-climatic zones for soybean cultivation.
  • How YMV resistant soybeans can be grown in North india?
  • Development of YMV resistant varieties like PK 416 and PS 564 was made possible by a source of resistance PI 171443 (UPSM 534) and has made cultivation of soybean possible in north india . The active breeding to obtain varieties with multiple disease resistances the need for sustainability in soybean production.
