RDI Scheme to Boost Edible Oil Industry

The Indian government has launched a big plan called the RDI scheme with ₹1 lakh crore to help the edible oil industry.

This plan will help make better oilseeds, use new farming methods, and make the industry stronger.

The government also started a mission to help exports, which will make it easier for small businesses to sell their products.

The president of the Solvent Extractors’ Association of India (SEA) said this is a great step.

He also mentioned that the government needs to do more to help farmers grow more oilseeds instead of rice and wheat.

The government has also reduced the duty on a type of olive oil to make it cheaper for people in India.
