India opens its first oil palm processing unit in Arunachal Pradesh. This achievement follows the launch of the National Mission for Edible Oils - Palm Oil in August 2021, aiming to produce 11.20 lakh tons of palm oil by 2025-26. With India importing 57% of its total edible oil needs, this initiative marks a significant step towards self-sufficiency.
