In 2017 yield of winter oil crops in India will increase by 1.5 mln. tonnes

According to SEA, in 2017 yield of winter oil crops in India will reach 9.2 mln. tonnes, given 7.7 mln. tonnes a year earlier.

Rapeseed yiled will reach a level of 7.0 mln. tonnes (5.8). In the near future we can expect a growth in the production of rapeseed meal and rapeseed oil. At the same time low prices in the domestic market will be a burden for the fast marketing of the production by the farmers.

In general, oil crops yield in India in 2016 - 2017 exceeds the previous year's level by 20% or 6.4 mln. tonnes, to reach 38.2 mln. tonnes. There is a growth in soybean yield up to 10.58 mln. tonnes (7.21).
