Government Launches Edible Oils Mission to Boost Production

Government Launches Edible Oils Mission to Boost Production

The Indian government has started a big plan called the National Mission on Edible Oils.

This plan wants to make more cooking oil in India so that the country doesn't have to buy so much from other countries.

Right now, India buys a lot of cooking oil from other places, but the government wants to change that.

They are giving farmers better seeds, helping them set up oil-making machines, and teaching them how to grow more oilseeds like soybeans, mustard, and groundnuts.

The goal is to make a lot more cooking oil in India by 2032, so that people can have enough to cook with and the country doesn't have to rely so much on other countries.
