National Mission on Edible Oils – Oilseeds (NMEO-Oilseeds)
NMEO-Oilseeds was approved in 2024 for implementation from 2024-25 to 2030-31 with a financial outlay of ₹10,103 crore. It addresses the broader oilseed sector — mustard, soybean, groundnut, sunflower, and sesame — targeting an increase in primary oilseed production from 39 million tonnes (2022-23) to 69.7 million tonnes by 2030-31. The combined goal of NMEO-Oilseeds and NMEO-OP is to meet approximately 72% of India's projected edible oil demand domestically by 2030-31, reducing import dependence from ~55% to ~28%.
