Recent Demand-Supply and Growth of Oilseeds and Edible Oil in India: an Analytical Approach

Oilseeds play an important role in providing a nutritionally balanced diet. These are the principal source of edible oil and protein in Indian diets. Oilseeds are boot edible oil processing industry, which are the most important industries of agriculture sector in India. India is a leading player in edible oil, with the World\u27s largest importer from Indonesia and Malaysia and third largest consumer. India is the fourth largest oilseeds producing country in the world after Brazil 100 MT, followed by Argentina 66 MT, China 59.6 MT and India 34.6 MT during 2014-15. Oilseeds are the second main sources of protein after cereals in Indian diet. India is the consumer and importer of edible oil. India accounts for 13-15 per cent of oilseed area, 7-8 per cent of oilseeds production, 6-8 per cent of oilseeds production, 4-6 % edible oil production, 12-14 per cent of vegetable oil import and 10-12 percent of the edible oil consumption. Basically the total oilseed area occupied 28.051 million hectares which contributed production 32.75MT during 2013-14. However, the annual compound growth rate of oilseeds 0.31 % area production 3.35% and yield 3.03 % recorded during recent year (2006-07 to 2013-14) however, it was accelerated growth in area 3.70 % production 6.97% and yield 3.15 % recorded during earlier years (1986-87 to 95-96) era of setup Technology mission on oilseeds during 1986 and the negligible growth were recorded in area 0.01 % production 1.08 % and yield 1.07 % during the middle period (1996-97 to 2005-06) due the peter out effect of oilseeds mission. The demand for edible oils in India has shown a steady growth at a CAGR of 4.96% over the period from 2001 to 2015. The growth has been driven by improvement in per capita consumption, which in turn is attributable to rising income levels and improvement of living standards. However, the current per capita consumption levels of India (at 15.91 Kg/year for 2015-16) were lower than global averages (25 kg/year). Furthermore, domestic consumption of edible oil is expected to increase with enhancement in income level and population. Indian agriculture to support oilseeds production to meet the vegetable oil needs of the Indian population has been considered in the context of available sources of oil from oilseed and non-oilseed origins. India needs to produce 17.84 Mt of vegetable oils to meet the nutritional fat needs of projected population of 1685 million by 2050

Participatory Demand-supply Systems

AbstractIntroducing the notion of Participatory Demand-Supply (PDS) systems as socio-technical systems, this paper focuses on a new approach to coordinating demand and supply in dynamic environments. A participatory approach to demand and supply provides a new frame of reference for system design, for which the engagement of all stakeholders plays an important role, as does distributed ICT. This approach has been applied to an industrial case to explore new opportunities enabled by distributed ICT for communication, negotiation, joint decision-making, and collective learning required for coordinating demand and supply. The application results in a platform as a test-bed for collecting relevant information to study the participation of stakeholders (actors) in coordinating a PDS system

Demand-Supply Trends and Projections of Food in India

The present paper presents the supply and demand trends of rice, wheat, total cereals, pulses, edible oil/oilseeds and sugar/sugarcane. It provides the demand and supply projections for food items during 2011, 2021 and 2026. These projections have been based on change in productivity levels, changes in price, growth of population and income growth. A comparison with projections provided by other scholars has also been made in the paper. Subsequently, the future supply-demand gap has been discussed in the light of policy requirements. It is concluded that an increase in total demand is mainly due to growth in population and per capita income. A diversification in consumption basket significantly away from cereals has been observed. On the supply side, production is constrained by low yield growths. This is more specific in context of total cereals and sugarcane. While in the short and medium term, there might be surplus of cereals in the country, these prospects are likely to diminish in the years to come. This situation is even more alarming for edible oil, sugarcane and pulses. To meet the future food requirements, the country shall have to either increase agricultural production, or depend on imports. In this light, the paper suggests that the policy focus needs to be laid, towards productivity enhancement in agriculture, through public investment in irrigation, development of roads, research and extension.Demand Projection, Supply Projection, India, Food grains

The role of DSM + C to facilitate the integration of renewable energy and low carbon energy technologies

Recent legislation and building regulations have aiming to reduce the energy demands of buildings and include renewable based micro-generation technologies. Due to the variations in energy delivery from these technologies, optimised control over building plant and loads is essential if we are to achieve a good demand-supply match and achieve a reduction in energy demands. This paper reports on research being undertaken as part of the UK EPSRC SuperGen Future Networks programme, specifically relating to the development of algorithms for simulating dynamic demand side control strategies to identify demand-supply matching options when deploying building integrated renewable energy and low carbon technologies. The development of demand side management and control (DSM+c) is a means to improve the dynamic demand-supply match taking account of the available demand side management capacity and time of occurrence. The principle of the developed DSM+c algorithms is to maximise the available control capacity which will enable a better demand-supply match while minimising any impact on users. This paper will demonstrate the application of DSM+c to improve the energy efficiency of a building (e.g. reduced total capacity), restructure the demand pattern via load shifting and switching (e.g. on/off or proportional control) to one more favourable to building integrated renewables. The impact of different control strategies on demand profile restructuring will be demonstrated using simulation to alter the settings of the DSM+c parameters - such as priority, methods and periods - for a given demand profile. The paper will conclude by presenting the outcomes from a case study using the decision support/design tool, MERIT where the developed DSM+c algorithms have been implemented to better facilitate the match between demand and building integrated clean energy supply technologies at the individual multi-familiy building level

Demand, supply and markup fluctuations

Markup cyclicality has been central for debating policy effectiveness and understanding business cycle fluctuations. However, there are two empirical challenges: separating supply (TFP) from demand shocks, and properly measuring the markups. In this article, we use a panel of Portuguese manufacturing firms for 2004-2014. Since it contains information on product- level prices, we can separate supply from demand shocks. We overcome the markup measurement by using the share of intermediate inputs on revenues, instead of the labor share. Our results suggest that markups are pro-cyclical with TFP shocks, and counter-cyclical with demand shocks. We also show that labor-based markups are pro-cyclical.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Demand, Supply and Markup Fluctuations

The cyclical behavior of markups is at the center of macroeconomic debate on the origins of business-cycle fluctuations and policy effectiveness. In theory, markups may fluctuate endogenously with the business cycle due to sluggish price adjustment or to deeper motives affecting the price-elasticity of demand faced by individual producers. In this article we make use of a large Örm- and product-level panel of Portuguese manufacturing Örms in the 2004-2010 period. The biggest empirical challenge is to separate supply (TFP) from demand shocks. Our dataset allows to do so, by containing information on product-level prices at a yearly frequency. Furthermore, markups are mismeasured when calculated with the labor share. We use the share of intermediate inputs instead. Our main results suggest that markups are pro-cyclical with TFP shocks and generally counter-cyclical with demand shocks. We also show how markups become procyclical if the markup is obtained using the labour share instead of intermediate inputs. Adjustment costs create a wedge between the labour share and the actual markup which explain the observed correlations.N/
