801. भारत का सोयाबीन खली निर्यात 16% बढ़कर 21 लाख टन हो गया
- भारत से सोयाबीन का आटा (सोयाबीन मील) निर्यात 2023-24 तेल वर्ष में 21 लाख टन तक पहुंच गया है, जो पिछले वर्ष की तुलना में 16 प्रतिशत की महत्वपूर्ण वृद्धि दर्शाता है। यह वृद्धि मुख्य रूप से ईरान, बांग्लादेश और नेपाल से मजबूत मांग के कारण हुई है, जैसा कि एक व्यापार निकाय द्वारा बताया गया है।
- अक्टूबर 2023 से सितंबर 2024 की अवधि में सोयाबीन का आटा निर्यात 21.28 लाख टन तक पहुंच गया, जो पिछले सीजन में दर्ज किए गए 18.36 लाख टन से एक महत्वपूर्ण वृद्धि है। यह जानकारी सोयाबीन प्रोसेसर्स एसोसिएशन ऑफ इंडिया (SOPA) द्वारा प्रदान की गई है।
- SOPA के कार्यकारी निदेशक डीएन पाठक ने बताया, "ईरान, बांग्लादेश और नेपाल से भारतीय सोयाबीन आटे की बढ़ती मांग 2023-24 तेल वर्ष में इस उल्लेखनीय वृद्धि का मुख्य कारण थी। भारत के कुल निर्यात में पिछले वर्ष की तुलना में लगभग 16 प्रतिशत की वृद्धि देखी गई। इस उच्च मांग ने सोयाबीन का अधिक पेराई और उत्पादन बढ़ाने में मदद की।"
- मध्य प्रदेश देश का एक प्रमुख सोयाबीन उत्पादक राज्य है। SOPA के अनुसार, ईरान ने 4,15,182 टन, बांग्लादेश ने 3,02,731 टन, जर्मनी ने 1,06,434 टन, और नेपाल ने 1,92,951 टन सोयाबीन का आटा भारत से आयात किया है। इस प्रकार, भारत की सोयाबीन मील का निर्यात न केवल बढ़ रहा है, बल्कि यह विभिन्न देशों के लिए एक महत्वपूर्ण उत्पाद बनता जा रहा है, जिससे कृषि क्षेत्र में भी सकारात्मक प्रभाव पड़ रहा है।
