Production And Market Dynamics Of Oilseeds In India

Abstract

The current research looked at the structural break in selected oil seeds in Karnataka and India with regards to their area, production and productivity, growth source, market integration, and price volatility. Area, output, and productivity statistics for Indian states and Karnataka's four revenue divisions were analyzed using secondary sources for the 48-year period beginning in 1971–72 and ending in 2016–17. Using monthly prices from January 2009 to February 2018 for selected crops, we analyzed the volatility of crop prices and the dynamics of the oil/seed wholesale markets in India and Karnataka. In India, groundnut and sunflower exhibit bigger spatial changes than other chosen oilseeds crops, as shown by the compound annual growth rate data. Post-Technology Mission on oilseed, India's entire oilseed crop shows clear signs of structural fractures.
