India's rapeseed planting is set to hit a record high this year, driven by robust demand from China for rapeseed meal and favorable rainfall conditions. The surge in production is expected to help India, the world's largest edible oil importer, reduce its reliance on expensive overseas purchases. Farmers are increasing their rapeseed cultivation after enjoying profitable returns from last year's crop. This expansion is supported by both domestic and international market dynamics, with China's demand playing a significant role in boosting India's rapeseed sector.
