The Union Budget 2024 further builds on the push for edible oils self-sufficiency through its "Atma Nirbhar" strategy and expanded adoption of nano DAP in all agro-climatic zones. Investing in our Annadata's (farmers') future is investing in India's future itself. While the timely push for edible oil production of mustard, groundnut, sesame, soybean, and sunflower oils is welcome, the scope should be extended to oil palm as well given its higher productivity. The vision for research, modern farming techniques, and infrastructure investment aligns perfectly with our company's mission to empower farmers and unlock the sector's potential in palm oil production and processing. We are enthusiastic to empower our farmers and be a part of the journey towards a truly self-reliant India.
