India is a country of geographic diversities with varied soil-types, habitats, climates and vegetations. India is a major producer of food (fruits, vegetables, wheat, pulse, milk, spices etc.) in the world after China. This industry is the front end of the agriculture sector, which is a significant economic component, employing nearly 60% of the country’s population and contributing to around 25% of India’s gross domestic product. With access to a large natural resource base of 161 million hectares of arable land, 15 million hectares of fresh water reservoirs, the largest livestock population in the globe and diverse agro-climatic conditions, India is a favourable destination for growth in the food industry. The Indian food industry is expected

In developing countries, economic development necessarily implies improvement in agricultural economy. Agriculture has changed worldwide dramatically and particularly in India in recent times mainly due to technological innovation leading to farm mechanization, extensive and widespread use of chemical fertilizers and specialization. This, being the positive side of the development, has also resulted in reduced demand for labour, significant increase in cost of production, besides, of course, depletion of topsoil, contamination of ground water, decline in family farming, neglect of farm labour along with their living and working conditions, reduced cultivable area due to growth of urbanization and industrialization and rampant legal and illegal mining activities. It has also affected in terms of economic and social disintegration of families in rural areas. The first and foremost problem in India is the raising of agricultural productivity. This depends on various factors, such as physical, material, institutional, technical, and agrarian. The role of marketing in this sphere is more crucial. Marketing may help in reducing the charges for marketing service by eliminating the chain of middlemen and to have the minimum difference between the buying and the selling prices.

Assuming a normal 2016 southwest monsoon, oilseed production in MY 2016/17 is forecast to reach 35.4 MMT, a ten per cent increase over last year (Table 1). Indian farmers are likely to return some acreage which was lost during the last two years due to dry weather to oilseed production. Because of destroying crops last two years to full fill this gap farmers increase land planting area that will essentially return oilseed acres and production levels to more conventional levels (five-year average). Prevailing strong market prices (Table 2) for soybeans, peanuts, rapeseed, and mustard should also support higher planting and production. Deficit precipitation during the last two monsoon seasons resulted in lower than anticipated oilseed
