This study investigates the agronomic performance,
adaptability, economic viability, and associated challenges of indigenous and
exotic oil palm varieties in Andhra Pradesh, India. Moreover this study
analyses the differences between Indigenous and Exotic varieties of oil palm
though the cultivations are growing both Indigenous and Exotic varieties, but
prefer the Exotic varieties to cultivate in the future because of its higher
production than the production of Indigenous varieties. This paper aims to provide
valuable insights for sustainable cultivation practices. The comparative
analysis includes growth parameters, yield potential, climate resilience, soil
adaptation, and economic considerations. Through a carefully designed
experimental setup, we assess the performance of selected varieties over time,
considering environmental impacts, social considerations, and ethical aspects.
India is the fourth leading oilseeds producing country in the world, next only
to the USA, China, and Brazil, harvesting about 29 million tonnes of oilseeds
per annum, grown in an area of nearly 27 Mha with an annual average yield of
1058 kg/ha. But As per the second advance estimates of fiscal year 2023, India
produced 40 million metric tons of oilseeds. The 16.5 mt of edible oil imports
in 2022-23 included palm (9.8 mt; from Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand),
soyabean (3.7 mt; from Argentina and Brazil) and sunflower (3 mt; from Russia,
Ukraine and Argentina). The bulk of imports comprise crude oils.
