Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare ICAR-IIOR to host National Consultation and Industry Interface Meet to Accelerate Commercialization of Oilseed Technologies in Hyderabad

Posted On: 31 AUG 2026 4:33PM by PIB Delhi The ICAR–Indian Institute of Oilseeds Research (ICAR-IIOR), Hyderabad will organise a National Consultation and Industry Interface Meet on “Innovations in Varieties/Hybrids, Biologicals and Biopolymer-Enabled Multilayer Seed Coating Technologies for Sustainable Agriculture: Industry Partnerships for Technology Commercialization and Scaling” on 10th September 2026 at ICAR-IIOR, Hyderabad.

India is one of the world’s major vegetable oil economies, and increasing demand for edible oils, coupled with need to accelerate domestic oilseed production, necessitates accelerated technology development, commercialization and adoption to strengthen self-reliance. In this context, ICAR-IIOR has developed promising technologies, including improved oilseed varieties and hybrids, biopolymer-enabled seed enhancement technologies, and microbial biopesticide formulations.

The meet will bring together representatives from the seed industry, biopesticide and bio-input companies, technology licensees, agri-business firms, start-ups and entrepreneurs, while ICAR-IIOR will showcase its promising technologies and explore opportunities for technology transfer, licensing, public–private partnerships and large-scale deployment.

The initiative is expected to strengthen research–industry linkages and stakeholder collaboration, facilitating the validation, commercialization and adoption of innovative technologies for the benefit of farmers and the sustainable growth of India’s oilseed sector.
