As the Indian government holds edible oil firms responsible for the rise in prices amid huge stockpiles, recent reports by the SEAI and expert predictions suggest that the country's import of edible oil and pulses is steadily decreasing. In line with this, Adani Wilmar has announced investments worth Rs.600 Crore in the edible oil and solar sectors. While the government's ambitious goal of achieving a USD 55 trillion economy by 2025 seems promising, doubts have been raised about the success of their Digital Agriculture Mission, with the AIKS expressing concerns. The agricultural sector's reactions to the Union Budget 2024 also reflect a forward-looking attitude towards the use of high-yielding pulses and oilseeds as a means to reduce imports.
