But Chief Minister Pema Khandu has clarified that the 1.33 lakh hectares identified for taking the National Mission on Edible Oils-Oil Palm (NMEO-OP) forward is wasteland. He had a few days ago told Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar that the State wants to increase oil palm coverage up to 15,000 hectares in the first year of the announcement of NMEO-OP.More Related News
