Oil palm in North East India: a review. Part I- Socio-economic and ecological effects of current planting efforts

Palm oil derived from Elaeis guineensis, Elaeis oleifera and their hybrids represents about 40 percent of all the vegetable oils produced in the world, preferred due to its higher yield compared to other oilseeds and lower price. Government of India has launched the National Mission on Edible Oils- Oil Palm (NMEO-OP), in 2021 which proposes to increase the area to 1 Mha and crude palm oil production to 1.12 Mt by 2026 and 2.8 Mt by 2029-30. One of the potential areas identified is the Northeast India, and in this context this review examines the experiences of oil palm planting in the Northeast India, the present programmes and its socio-economic and ecological impacts, besides the consumption, supply and import of edible oils which have necessitated the oil palm expansion.
