In 2023, India experienced a negative oilseeds residual of approximately -14,000 metric tons. The forecasted data for 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady improvement in this figure, with the negative residual decreasing from -13,000 metric tons in 2024 to -10,000 metric tons in 2028. This shows an annual average decrease of about 3.9% in the negative residual over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of technological advancements in agriculture which may improve yield and reduce residuals.
Policy changes aimed at supporting oilseed production efficiency.
Climate factors affecting yield and residual fluctuations.
Global market demand shifts which might influence domestic production strategies.
