Detailed Solution

Castor is both a Kharif and Rabi crop. Groundnut, castor, mustard, sesamum, linseed, and sunflower are some oilseeds grown in India. The oil extracted from these is used for different purposes, including cooking and as a raw material for the manufacturing industries like cosmetics, soap, and ointments. Castor is a rabi and Kharif crop, while groundnut is grown during the summers. Mustard is a rabi crop grown during the winter. Sesamum is a rabi crop in South India but a Kharif crop in North India. About 12% of India’s cultivated area is utilised for the cultivation of oilseeds. The government has plans to increase the output of oilseed cultivation, which has tremendous export value.
