India is one of the largest consumers of edible oils globally, with oils like palm, soybean, and mustard being staples in Indian households. However, the country relies heavily on imports to meet its growing demand, as domestic production falls short. This dependency on imports makes India vulnerable to global price fluctuations and supply disruptions. In recent years, the government has been promoting initiatives to boost domestic production and reduce reliance on imports. Still, challenges like limited agricultural land and fluctuating crop yields continue to impact the edible oil industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a
