Bengaluru, 6th Aug 2020 : OPDPA (Oil Palm Developers And Processors Association), the Nodal Agency for Oil Palm Cultivation in India lauds the message by the PM Mr. Modi for recognising the need and importance of being self-reliant in edible oil, and asking Farmers and State Governments of North East to pursue Oil Palm cultivation. His message clearly underpins the benefits of Oil Palm cultivation to the overall Atmanirbhar Bharat agenda as well as its potential to help with the growth story of the region.
The PM has recommended the State Governments of North East region to set up oil palm missions in their respective States to promote cultivation of the Oil Palm. The setting up of these missions will help boost the ecosystem as well increase focus for the adoption of the crop. Oil Palm cultivation in North East Regions can tremendously boost the economy of the region leading to large scale development and progress of the region.
Commenting on the progressive step taken by the Government, Mr. Sanjay Goenka, President of OPDPA said, “The expanse of Oil Palm cultivation in the country is very negligible today as compared to the potential the crop possesses. We have seen the transformation this crop has brought about in the lives of farmer community in Andhra Pradesh and we hope to emulate the same in the Northeastern States as well. A strong and robust long term policy mechanism needs to be introduced to give this crop the required push across India. Given the Honorable Prime Minister’s Atmanirbharta vision, India can truly achieve its goal of self-sufficiency in Edible Oils by pushing for development in the Oil Palm Plantation sector
In North East, the states of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam have tremendous scope for undertaking and increasing area under Oil Palm. The Agro-Climatic conditions of the region are extremely suitable for Oil Palm cultivation and therefore, the region has the potential to cover over 2,00,000 Acres. Equivalent to 1 billion dollars of imports can be prevented.
Members of the OPDPA, Including 3F Oil Palm, have already set up base and are working closely with the state governments of NE to create awareness on the benefits of the crop. 3F Oil Palm, a pioneer in Oil Palm cultivation in the country, currently operates in Arunachal Pradesh and has already covered over 5000acres of Area under Oil Palm in the Lower Debang Valley District of Arunachal Pradesh. Plans are in the pipeline to set up a state of the art Processing facility with a captive power plant.
Oil Palm crop is a highly remunerative crop that has the potential to provide the highest return on investment per acre compared to other commercial crops. Farmers in Andhra Pradesh are a living testimony to the far-reaching benefits of this crop for their livelihoods and future.
India is heavily dependent on imported edible oils, With nearly 15 million tonnes (or nearly 68 per cent) of edible oils getting imported to meet the country’s annual requirement of about 22 million tonnes. Of the total 15 million tonnes of import, about 9 million tonnes (or nearly 60 percent) is palm oils.
“The industry is in need of several reforms to maintain its viability and attract further investments in various states of India. OPDPA has been aggressively pursuing the agenda with the Government to bring in structural policy changes which will greatly propel the industry to new growth levels. With the policy changes proposed by us, we can truly achieve our Hon. PMs vision of Atmanirbharta in Edible Oils”, Mr. Sanjay Goenka added further.
Some of the key asks by the association are:
Stable pricing mechanism to be put in place for protecting the Indian Oil Palm farmer from fluctuations in price of the produce and continue to motivate him to grow the crop. A fixed MSP mechanism as suggested by the draft CACP report of 2018, will go a long way in this regard.
A special package for the northeast will quickly help the country in bringing large areas under oil palm plantation (Including making available unutilized government land to Oil Palm companies for captive Oil Palm plantation).

In March 2020, the corona virus pandemic hit India and impacted the lifestyles of people everywhere. Living with Covid-19 has become a part of daily life now. Plenty of measures have been put into place including an emphasis on washing hands, practicing social distancing, proper sanitization and food delivery with a strict no contact policy. Amidst all these changes, people have been turning to the internet for information on fertility during the time of the corona virus which has led to the circulation of some myths. This article aims to debunk those myths and discuss some frequently asked questions about the effect of the Pandemic on fertility.
What is the effect of corona virus on female and male fertility?
It has been generally known that infections that cause a fever could interfere with fertility treatments. For women undergoing ovarian stimulation and having a fever during their cycle, it has been observed that there were a lower number of eggs retrieved, higher doses of medication required and they had a longer duration of treatment. In terms of male fertility, there is enough evidence that illnesses that cause fevers, such as COVID-19, have a short term impact on male fertility. However the effects of these are only temporary. There’s no evidence at the moment that COVID-19 can impact male fertility permanently.
Should you stop trying to conceive due to coronavirus Pandemic?
If you don’t have COVID-19, there is no medical reason to change your plans about trying to conceive. However, if you already have been infected with COVID-19, it is advisable to postpone pregnancy for now and wait until you fully recover before attempting to conceive whether it is through natural means or through artificial reproductive techniques like IUI, IVF.
Are pregnant women at higher risk of contracting Covid-19?
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), pregnant women don’t appear to be at a greater risk for illness related to COVID-19 and only 1% of pregnant women infected experienced severe illness that required medical attention. There are no studies showing adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with COVID-19, but pregnancy leads to changes in the body that may increase their risk of infection.
Can a pregnant woman with COVID-19 pass the virus to the baby?
Mother-to-child transmission of COVID-19 during pregnancy is unlikely. Studies show that there is no presence of Covid-19 in samples of cord blood, amniotic fluid, or throat swabs from the newborn, or breast milk. However, in a recent case, COVID-19 infection was found in a newborn baby, so the passage of the virus from mother to baby during the period immediately before and after birth cannot be excluded at this point. There is a possibility that after birth, a newborn could get infected if they come in close contact with the virus or an infected individual.
What should patients planning for ART like IVF and IUI know?
Patients who have a high likelihood of having COVID-19 or a positive COVID-19 test result, including those planning to use oocyte donors, sperm donors, or gestational carriers, should consider avoiding a pregnancy. If these patients are undergoing active infertility treatment, they should consider freezing all oocytes or embryos and avoid an embryo transfer until they are disease-free. However this recommendation does not necessarily apply solely when there is a suspicion of COVID-19. Depending on case-to-case, a doctor would be able to advise a couple on the best options.
Is it safe for you to visit Hospital during treatment for fertility as well as after getting pregnant?
Yes, Absolutely. Almost all hospitals have incorporated stringent checks like temperature, pulse rate etc at different places for people entering the premises. Along with mandatory wearing of masks there are strict rules which let only the patient come to the Out Patient Department. Minimizing the contact with social distancing in elevators and wards have been done. Pregnant women can opt for tele-consultation and avoid visits to hospital unless there is an emergency.
Is it better to postpone my plans for pregnancy until the pandemic is over?
Not necessarily. The reason for this is no one really knows when the pandemic is going to end. Assuming that it would end in a few months and then to restart planning for pregnancy may not be ideal for some couples. As time goes by, the ovarian reserve reduces putting sub fertile patients at more risk of having to undergo advanced treatments to conceive.
