In the present context of acute shortage of oils and fats in the world, it has become increasingly necessary to augment their production to the maximum extent possible. India, the biggest producer of oilseeds, has a special responsibility in meeting this shortage. Since the commencement of the Second World War, the export of oil- seeds from this country has dwindled considerably owing to the develop- ment of oil crushing and to the increased consumption for edible and industrial purposes. Hence there is urgent need to step up production of Oilseeds to meet the growing internal demand and also to maintain India's status in the international markets. Otherwise, she may per- manently lose the substantial export trade which had been built up all these years and thus fail to earn foreign exchange which the country badly needs at the present moment.
