| dc.description | Oil palm, a native perennial palm of West Africa, is known for its high potential in the production of vegetable oil. Since the Government of India identified the crop for cultivation in the coastal as well as deltaic areas of India that have the congenial atmospheric conditions, relatively large-scale cultivation has taken place during the period of 1990-2000 in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Orissa, Tripura, Goa and Maharashtra. Andhra Pradesh has emerged as the state with the largest area of nearly 40 000 ha under cultivation followed by Karnataka. Success is due to the following major factors: Having good resources of ground water for irrigation; Congenial atmospheric conditions necessary for cultivation; Farmers ' awareness of the crop s potentiality; Extension activities carried out by the state Department of Horticulture in promoting the crop; . Issuing of subsidy for seed material as well as cultivation practices during the juvenile stage; . Active participation of private as well as state government undertakings in the development and processing; Zonalisation of the area; Formation of project management committee and price fixation committee and reviewing them at quarterly interval. However, these are only a few of the reasons for its successful launching. Establishment of research centres, low production cost, obtaining higher yields with good management practices, low pest and disease problems, establishment of processing factories in each zone, opening of collection centres by the processing industries and lifting the FFB for processing and making the payment to the producers within the stipulated time are other reasons for its take off in a big way. Nevertheless, GATT agreement under WTO, reduction of import duties on palm oil, large scale importation of crude palm oil from Malaysia, overall price reduction for palm oil in the international market , reduction of ground water table due to poor monsoon, non availability of sufficient electricity for operating the bore wells, non establishment of by-product extraction units and long gestation period are few of the reasons for its ser back which calls for changing the Government policies to pave way for bright future of oil palm in India. | |
