(a) to (c): Depending upon yearly variations in the area coverage due to comparative profitability  of  other  competing  crops  and  variations  in  productivity  on  account  of  rainfall situation,  weather  conditions  etc.,  production,  productivity  and  area  coverage  under Soyabean  in  the  country  has  been  fluctuating.  However,  the  long  term  trend  in  area coverage, and production of Soyabean has been generally increasing. State-wise details of area coverage, production and productivity of Soyabean in the country during last three years and the current year viz. 2013-14 to 2016-17 are given in Annexure-I.

In order to increase production and  productivity of oilseed crops including Soyabean in  the  country,  Government  of  India  is  providing  financial  support  to  farmers under  Mini-Mission-I  (MM-I)  of  National  Mission  on  Oilseeds  and  Oil  Palm  (NMOOP) launched in April, 2014. The financial assistance provided under MM-I of NMOOP includes production  and  distribution  of  seeds,  supply  of  mini-kits,  block  demonstrations,  farmers' training,  improved  farm implements, sprinkler sets,  water carrying  pipes,  supply  of  seed storage bins, seed treatment drums, bio-pesticides, micro-nutrients etc.

Further,  to  encourage  farmers  to  increase  area  and  production,  the  Minimum Support  Price  (MSP)  of  Soyabean  has  been  increased  over  the  years.  For  the  Kharif Marketing  Season  (KMS)  2016-17,  the  MSP  of  Soyabean  has  been  increased  to Rs.2775/- per quintal (including bonus of Rs.100/- per quintal)  as compared to Rs.2600/per quintal for the KMS 2015-16.

State-wise details of allocation, release and expenditure under NMOOP are given in Annexure-II.
