Palm Plantation
Indian edible oil market is the world’s fourth largest after USA, China and Brazil. A growing population with increasing rate of consumption and continuously increasing per capita income are some of the factors accelerating the demand for edible oil in India. This has led to an increased dependence on import of palm oil. To tackle this situation, Government of India has formed an expert committee which has identified suitable land for palm plantation all over India. Palm plantation has multiple benefits as it has yield and income per hectare are better than other oil seed crops. Once planted, palm trees can be harvested for about 25 years. Reduced dependency on imports conserves country’s foreign exchange reserves and needless to state - Plantations are always environmentally beneficial. We have taken the initiative and consolidated its palm plantation activities, by merging ‘Mac Oil Palm Limited’ and ‘Palm Tech India Limited’ into Patanjali Foods Limited (formerly known as Ruchi Soya Industries Limited ). We are the leading player in oil palm processing with 0.90 million metric ton capacity per annum in India, with land access to over 2.50 lakh hectares of potential oil palm cultivation in India. Ruchi Soya has access to palm plantations in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Mizoram, Gujarat, Odisha, Tamil Nadu and Chhattisgarh.
