Ruchi Soya takes farm land on lease in Ethiopia

18 Jan 2010 Evaluate

Ruchi Soya Industries, one of the leading edible oil processors has acquired major farm land on a lease basis for 25 years in Ethiopia for soybean cultivation and setting up a processing unit on 61775 acres in Ganmbella and Benishangul Gumaz States. It has an option to increase the area under cultivation to 123,550 acres. However, investment details were not disclosed. Ethopia has been chosen for agriculture investment considering the availability of labour, its strategic location and the Government support to boost foreign investment and development.

 

Constrained by the availability of cultivable land and hiccups in contract farming, Indian agricultural companies are looking at global destinations for backward integration.  Ruchi Soya gained the potential to develop palm plantation of about 89,000 hectares by entering into tie-ups with various State governments.

 

The country would continue to depend on imports for its edible oil requirement. The oilseeds coverage in the rabi season as on January 7 was lower by six per cent at 84.23 lakh hectares against 90.01 lakh hectares logged in the same period last year. The dry weather had led to a decline in the acreage of the winter-sown oilseeds. This may lead to a strain on edible oils supply, forcing imports. The vegetable oil imports in November were at 753,966 tonnes (555,342 tonnes). Edible oils constituted 712,677 tonnes while non-edible oils import was at 41,289 tonnes.
