This document outlines several factors that constrain oilseed crop yields in Pakistan, including a lack of quality seed, insufficient research, technical issues in production and post-harvest handling, policies that treat oilseeds as minor crops, limited marketing capabilities, unfavorable product prices, high user demand for imported oils, and lack of affordable credit services. Potential solutions proposed include developing high-yielding varieties, disseminating better production technologies, providing incentives to growers, enabling local oil expelling, offering support prices, and identifying substitute crops.
