ABSTRACT
Jaypee is going to establish a Soya processing plant in Rewa (M.P). For the supply of raw
materials like soybean and mustard, it has decided to directly link with farmers to get raw
materials at cheaper rate and according to demand. So it has decided to deal with the
problems related to soybean production. That is why, it is conducting a survey to know about
the current soybean production, problems related to soybean production, soil status, farmers
view and make them aware about there perspective.
Purpose- In these papers, we are trying to study the soybean production status as well as
problems of farmers related to soybean production like soil status and make farmers aware
about the plant and link them directly with the company through service providers and other
ways.
Method used- The primary as well as secondary data is used for the studies. For primary
data, a questionnaire has been prepared and an intense survey is done on farmers of various
villages to collect the village information to find out the problems related to soybean
production. Secondary data is collected from web resources and books. Various statistical
tools like graphical method and pie charts has been used for our research purpose and
analysis of data has been used.
Findings- Various villages agricultural data has been obtained in prescribed format. Farmers
are unaware about the advanced technology and improved seeds. They are mostly depended
on rainfall for irrigation as they have tube well only. Soybean is grown in large amount in the
area but mustard is not grown alone and in fewer amounts. They are made aware about the
company’s plant and are attached directly with the company so that they can sell their
produce directly to company.

Executive Summary
Jaiprakash Associates, best known for its presence in the construction and hydroelectric
power sectors, plans to process and market edible oil under its own brand as part of a surprise
foray into the agribusiness segment. The Delhi-based group plans to invest Rs 80 crore
initially in the venture that will process soya and mustard oil and produce oil cakes, all of
which will be sold under its own brands.
The company, which is targeting annual revenue of Rs 400 crore from the business by FY12,
did not explain the synergies between the edible oils business and its mainstay infrastructure
businesses, merely disclosing that the oil processing plant will be set up in Rewa in Madhya
Pradesh where it has a strong presence in the power and cement sectors.
“The plan is to procure oil seed from the farms in 100-km radius of Rewa. We want to turn
Rewa into the most potent force in soya farming and ensure that farmers get the best price,”
said Manoj Gaur, executive chairman of Jaiprakash Associates.
The growth prospects of the edible oil business in India have attracted interest from private
equity and hedge funds. Baring Private Equity Partners Asia had picked up an 8.86% stake in
KS Oils for Rs 90 crore in 2007. Citigroup Venture Capital International also owns a stake in
KS Oils.
The group with interests in cement, construction, real estate, hotel and power sectors has its
biggest cement plant in Rewa in Madhya Pradesh and has also two more thermal power
plants under construction in the state. The oil processing unit, which will have a capacity of 1
lakh tonnes per annum each for mustard and soya oil, will commence production in
November 2010.
8
The group’s foray into edible oil will pit it against the likes of groups such as KS Oils, Adani
Wilmar, Ruchi Soya, ITC, NDDB, Cargill and the Bhaskar Group. Its proposed brands —
whose names Mr Gaur declined to reveal — will compete with NDDB’s Dhara, Adani’s
Fortune, Agro Tech’s Sundrop, Cargill’s NatureFresh and Bungee’s Dalda. Madhya Pradesh,
Rajasthan and Maharashtra are the major producers of edible oil, with MP accounting for
almost half of total domestic soya produce. India consumes around 13 million tonnes of
edible oil per annum, which includes 5.5 million tonnes of imported oil.
The rapid increase in demand for edible oil has prompted several players to expand
processing capacity, leading to difficulties in seed procurement during the off-season, which
extends for up to six months a year for both soya and mustard. The government allows
import of edible oil, but not of oil seed.
So, during the off season, oil processing companies have to simultaneously contend with
high seed prices and cheap oil imports. For local edible oil companies, there is an attractive
export market for oil cakes — a by-product of oil processing, which is used as cattle feed.
Jaypee is going to establish a Soya processing plant in Rewa (M.P). For the supply of raw
materials like soybean and mustard, it has decided to directly link with farmers to get raw
materials at cheaper rate and according to demand. So it has decided to deal with the
problems related to soybean production. That is why, it is conducting a survey to know about
the current soybean production, problems related to soybean production, soil status, farmers
view and make them aware about there perspective and their plan to establish soya
processing plant and link directly with the farmers for soybean supply.

Jaypee Rewa Soya Processing Unit
Jaypee group is going to start Adarsh Soya Processing unit where is to be known as Jaypee
Rewa Soya Processing unit.
Jai Prakash Associate ltd., Jaypee nagar (Rewa) is planning that every farmer must be directly
linked to the company for soybean and mustard supply for the Jaypee Rewa soya processing unit,
Village- Chizwar.
In processing unit, 300 metric ton Soybean/Mustard will be utilized from which 54 metric ton
oil and 240 metric ton food elements will be manufactured.
90000 metric ton Soybean / Mustard raw materials will be required for processor plant yearly.
In India, M.P. is highest Soybean growing state whose share is 54%.
So 50 thousand ton yearly Soybean and 6 thousand ton Mustard every year is produced in Rewa
which is 0.86% Soybean and 0.80% mustard share of State.
Growth of soybean in district is something 5-6 quintal per hectare. This is less then 40% of other
pars of the state.
Growth of Mustard is also 3 quintal per hectare. This is also less then 30% of other state.
Company is going to construct Kisan bhavan near the Jaypee soya plant for directly purchasing
soybean and mustard from farmer.
Also company is planning to purchase soybean directly from farmers in villages and pay them
immediately.
Jaypee is also planning to give information about improved seeds and advanced technology to
the farmers for increasing production.
Jaypee is also planning to take help of agricultural scientists for improving soybean production in
the district and also train the farmers with the help of them.

SOYABEAN
20
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT IN BRIEF
Soyabean and its products are highly nutritious, containing up to 45 per cent high-quality
protein, 22 per cent oil, 5 per cent minerals and vitamins. This crop can be grown for high
productivity and profitability in many parts of M.P. and there is a huge market for soy
products. In spite of all this, its cultivation has not been taken up on a large scale.
Some farmers who started growing it a few years ago have also stopped. Generally less than
one ton/hectare (t/ha) because farmers tend to grow this crop under any type of land/water-
use conditions, without realizing that high productivity can be possible only on specific kinds
of soils and by following specific crop-soil-input (seed, water, fertilizer, pesticide, energy)
management technologies. In addition, unorganized market and low/unstable prices relative
to the competing rice crop (having assured market with MSP) have been discouraging.
Mustard/Rapeseed oil is the third largest edible oil produced in the world after Soy oil and
Palm oil. At a production level of 13-14 million tons, it accounts for about 12% of the total
World's edible oil production. However the export trade has come down, due to the
dominance of other oils like palm and Soya, which have become comparatively cheaper. The
share has come down to almost 3% from the earlier figures of about 5% (of the total 30
million tons of edible oils.
The production and consumption of this oil has been growing at the rate of 4.65% and 5.03%
respectively (compound growth over the last decade). On crushing rapeseed or mustard, oil
and meal are obtained. The average oil recovery from the seed is about 33%.
21
Overview of Soybean and Mustard along with its Marketing and Financial aspects
A cream-colored oval bean about the size of a common pea, Soy Beans belongs to the
legume family and is native to East Asia. It is an important protein source for millions of
people for over five thousand years. It can be grown on a variety of soils and a wide range of
climates.
In India Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh are the major
producers of soybeans. Madhya Pradesh tops the list. Nearly 88% of soyabean is produced in
the state. During 1997-98 total soyabean production in the state was 49.19 metric tonnes
which was about 84.2% of the total produce. Approximate figs.) India World % Share (In

produces cheaper Soya meal than India, which contains high protein content of around 48%.
Moreover, it is not Genetically Modified (GM).

Indian scenario
Soyabean
In the recent past, soybean cultivation has increased manifold as compared to any other
oilseed crop in India and stands next only to groundnut, though commercial production of
soybean began only in 1971-72. Soybean production is mainly confined to Madhya Pradesh
(also known as soyabean bowl of India), Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh,
Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
The soybean crop is grown mainly in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and
Rajasthan. About 53 per cent of the cropped area under this crop falls in Madhya Pradesh.
For the last six years, soybean has been witnessing growth in terms of acreage and it now
stands at 88.50 lakh ha. In 1989-90, the production of soybean seeds was mere 18.05 lakh
tonnes, which increased to 54 lakh tonnes in 2001-02 and which decreased to 43 lakh tonnes
in 2002-03. It is only in 2003-04 that production recovered with record of 69.32 lakh tonnes
of soybean seeds, there after the production fell to 61.26 in 2004-05. However, production
rose in consecutive years after 2004-05 and now (2007-2008) it has significantly increased to
94.73 lakh tonnes, an all time record. Similarly, the yield per hectare declined from 1,074 kg
per hectare in 2003-2004 to 927 kg Per hectare in 2006-07. The yield rose sharply in 2007-08
to 1070 kg per hectare just short of the all-time record yield of 1074 kg per hectare in 2003-
04. Studies revealed that good seeds and better practices could deliver yield of the order of
three tonnes per ha which could place India’s total production around 15 million tonnes.
Thus, there is ample scope of increasing the production. Non-availability of short duration
high yielding, good quality seed on adequate scale are the major constraint in achieving
higher productivity.
Only limited seed varieties are available and production of quality seed is also limited.
Further, low and unbalanced use of chemical fertilizers is another major factor for poor yield
of soybean crop. As, the country is in short supply of edible oil and about 50 per cent of our
edible oil consumption is fulfilled by imports of different vegetable oils, there is a dire need
to promote the production of oilseeds like soybean.
23
Mustard
Mustard has been a traditionally important oilseed crop in the country. Its production has been
fluctuating in the range of 4.6-5 million tons over the last few years. The average production in the
country in the last decade has been around 5.3 - 5.4 million tons. About 1.5 lakh tons is retained
for sowing and direct consumption as 'seed', leaving about 4.8-5.1 million tons for crushing and
extracting oil. It is a major Rabi crop. Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh are the major rapeseed
producing States in the country. Together, they produce about 50% of the crop Rapeseed/Mustard
is one of the major sources of oil and meal to India. It supplies over 1.5 million tons of oil and 3-
3.2 million tons of meal.
Being an important source of edible oil and feed meal to the country, rapeseed is undoubtedly the
focus of Indian oilseed industry. Efforts are being made both by the Government of India and the
industry associations to increase production of this vital source of edible oil and meal.
Sites/zones
Since high productivity can be obtained only when grown under specific soil and water
management systems, identification of sites/zones specifically suitable for this crop is of
paramount importance. Suitability is ensured when the soil tests loam to clay-loam, medium
to high in organic matter and fertility, permeable, well drained/deep water-table, non-
saline/non-alkali (not even recently reclaimed salt-affected soils), well structured and very
low (or without) in concretions. Saline water is not suitable. The M.P. Remote Sensing
Centre Rewa, state development/ extension agencies and soil-testing laboratories can great
try help in identifying zones and making recommendations.

Cultivation
In India Madhya Pradesh (M.P.) is the leading state in producing soyabean followed by
Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. On average, Madhya Pradesh produces 74 percent
of India's total soyabean crop; Maharashtra, 13 percent; and Rajasthan, 10 percent.
26
Cultivation of soybean in India was first started in Punjab and UP in 1969. But farmers did
not take interest in its cultivation as the per acre production was low due to high moisture
contents there .On the other hand it became a popular crop in MP as most of its cultivated
area is rain-fed and availability of irrigation water is comparatively very less. Its production
had been increasing year after year in the country as it continues to fetch lucrative prices to
the farming community.
Yield of soybean in India still lags behind from its major producers in the world however
Indian soybean is considered best in quality due to its Non GMO nature and rich protein
content. Thus export demand is usually very high of Indian soy DOC. MP is the main
soybean producing state in India. With onset of monsoon in mid June soybean’s sowing
starts and fresh arrivals are seen from October. In 2006-07, total production was nearly 47
lakh ton while during 2007-08, production was nearly 50 lakh ton. It is expected to increase
to 57 lakh ton during 2008-09 as per sources.

Soya protein: used in various cheese & other milk and meat substitute products
Soya meal: About 98 percent of soybean meal is used as a feed ingredient in mixed
rations for poultry, hogs, and beef and dairy cattle. The remainder is used for human
food or industrial products.
Products of Mustard
Mustard Oil
Mustard Powder
Other products.
Soybeans are also used in industrial products including oils, soap, cosmetics, resins, plastics,
inks, crayons, solvents, and clothing. Soybean oil is the primary source of biodiesel in the
United States, accounting for 80% of domestic biodiesel production.]Soybeans have also
been used since 2001 as fermenting stock in the manufacture of a brand of vodka.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Method of data collection: - For collecting data and the accuracy of facts, complete
enumeration was used. For collecting the data, survey method is used in which information is
collected in prescribed format of the questionnaire from around 10-15 farmers from each and
every village.
Data Analysis: - I have the done the data analysis as per the format given to me by company.
I collect the data from farmers and sarpanch.
Sample size: - Sample size was around 191 farmers.
Sources of primary and secondary data:
Interviewing the farmers and recording in prescribed questionnaire prescribed by the
company directly collects primary data. Secondary data is collected from various sites.
The major aim of the project was to analyze status of soybean and mustard
cultivation in M.P. Therefore I had to get considerable information about soyabean
and mustard. For this I had to go through a lot of secondary data.

SUMMARY
Compared to other major soybean growing states, such as the Maharashtra, Rajasthan, AP,
and Karnataka. M.P has first position. Mustard is also best crop in M.P. but several other
factors that give rise to the comparatively low yield. It is important to note that these other
states, in general, cultivate soybean varieties with growing periods of a minimum of six
months. The most common varieties in M.P on the other hand, are grown during the
relatively short monsoon season, and have maturity durations of not more than 100 days.
However, there are several other factors that give rise to the comparatively low yield.
• Inefficient use or lack of access to inputs such as seed, fertilizers and pesticides limits
productivity. A lack of weed control measures means the soybean crop is often highly
infested with weeds.
• The soybean crop is often affected by diseases, for example, rust, and yellow mosaic
virus. Farmers very rarely use any plant protection measures, and there is little seed
replacement or adoption of improved varieties.
• Soybean sowing is often done hurriedly with the onset of monsoon without the
desired level of cultivation. Inadequate tillage exacerbates the weed problem. Water-
logging in low-lying fields leads to stunted growth and nitrogen deficiency.
• Machine harvesting may not be possible due to water logging, which means
premature or delayed harvesting is common.
• Credit facilities for small farmers are inadequate for appropriate investments, as well
as a insufficient knowledge dissemination.
In spite of these problems, there are several reasons that farmers continue to grow soybean
in Madhya Pradesh.

CONCLUSIONS
Main problem with the production of soybean in Rewa is –
Lack of irrigation facilities- Some of the rich farmers have tube well but most of
the farmers are completely depended on rainfall for soybean production.
Lack of proper knowledge- Farmers are not aware about the advanced technology
and developed hybrid seeds, which can increase their production foretold.
Lack of benefit- Farmers say that they are not getting good price of their produce
from selling them in to various mandi and government.
Less yield- farmers say that they do not get the optimum production then the amount
of soybean seeds they sow or area utilized. So they do not get the desired profit.
Soybeans can be cultivated on fallow land, they are more profitable than other
Kharif crops, they have a stable price and well-organized markets, and there are
efficient government schemes such as the ‘Technology Missions for Oilseeds’ that
promote soybean crops.
Furthermore, alternative Kharif crops, e.g. cotton, sugarcane, sorghum, maize, can be
completely destroyed by excess moisture, while soybean is more tolerant. Farmers opt for
the low risk soybean over high-risk crops.
Soybean continues to be the preferred Kharif crop for farmers in Madhya Pradesh due to its
high net returns, and this explains the continuing increase in its area of cultivation in
Madhya Pradesh as well as in other states. Mustard is also important crop in M.P.
However, soybean production in Madhya Pradesh is far from optimum. Better knowledge
on improved agriculture practices, as well as increased availability and affordability of farm
inputs, is required. In addition, there was some evidence from the field that long-term
soybean production is reducing soil health and increasing problems of pests. This effect
could become more pronounced in the future if inefficient soybean cultivation techniques
continue.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
Following are some of the recommendations and suggestions to the company for getting
continuous soybean and mustard directly from the farmers-
The company must be directly attached to the farmers to obtain soybean and mustard
directly from them at cheaper prices. For this, they must approach directly to villages and
appoint a person directly from the village for the purpose.
Proper knowledge with the help of agricultural scientists must be given to the farmers
about advanced technology and improved seeds to increase production.
Help must be provided to farmers for farming like microfinance, seeds and fertilizer supply
etc.
The company must open collection centers near to villages or a collection center for group
of every five to six villages.
Every person like patwari, sarpanch and other respective persons of the villages must be
contracted to attain continues soybean and mustard supply.
If company can help farmers for irrigating their fields in any way, it must help.
