## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (d) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 207  FOR ANSWER ON 1 st  AUGUST, 2016 REGARDING 'EXPORT OF OILMEAL PRODUCTS'

- (a) The  country-wise(top  30  export  destination  as  per  value  in  2015-16) details of export of Oilmeals for the last three years and current year is attached as Annexure-1 .
- (b) Yes, Sir. The major reason for decline in export of Oilmeals has been lesser  availability  of  oilseeds  for  crushing  and  continuous  disparity between  domestic  and  international  prices.  Production  of  Oilmeals  is directly  linked  to  domestic  production  of  Oilseeds.  Moreover,  due  to deficient rainfall in two successive years i.e. 2014 and 2015 and other natural calamities like hailstorm and unseasonal rain, the production of various  commodities  including  oilseeds  have  declined  in  the  country. The  production  data  of  nine  major  oilseeds  for  the  last  three  years  is given below:-

- (c  &  d):    Encouraging  exports  of  agricultural  products,  including  Oilmeal Products, is a continuous process. The Agricultural and Processed Food Export  Development  Authority  (APEDA),  an  autonomous  organisation under  the  Department  of  Commerce,  provides  financial  assistance  to exporters through various components of its Plan Scheme viz. Infrastructure  Development,  Market  Promotion,  Quality  Development and  Transport  Assistance.  Besides  these  measures,  the  Ministry  of Commerce & Industry has put in place various schemes namely Market Development Assistance (MDA), Market Assistance Initiative (MAI) etc. to provide assistance to encourage exports. In addition to that, Department of Commerce  also provides 5% reward rate under Merchandise  Exports  from  India  Scheme(MEIS)  for  export  of  Oilmeal Products.
