%X Groundnut is the major oilseed crop in India. In spite of its declining contribution over the years to the oilseed basket of the country (from 42% in 1992-93 to 36% in 1996-97), it continues to occupy the leading position among oilseed crops. However, it may not maintain this position if remedial measures are not taken to increase its productivity and competitiveness vis-a-vis other oilseed crops such as rapeseed and mustard, sunflower, and soybean, which threaten its dominant position.
