From Chairman's Desk

Chairman Message

At the outset, I would express my deepest gratitude to the Immediate past chairman, office bearers, Board of Directors, Panel members & members of the council  for their kind support & cooperation during my tenure as Vice Chairman.

 It is a privilege for me to be appointed Chairman of this prestigious council.   My responsibility & commitment has further increased towards the council & its objective.

Friends, I always believe in the philosophy “ co -create, co -generate & co -exist”. This is the new mantra to grow as a community & create a sustainable eco system.

Earlier as a Vice Chairman & now in the capacity of Chairman my vision is to strengthen the complete supply chain through backward & forward integration & create a sustainable eco system wherein efforts of all stake holders complement each other.

Groundnuts & Sesame Seeds are lifeline of the Indian oilseeds export sector. Both these products have challenges which need to be addressed with short term, medium term & long term approach.

 Few of my focus areas are stated below :

• Increasing yields at farm level & promotion of summer crop wherever possible.
• Liaising with various government departments, research institutions, Indian missions aboard to understand & resolve the challenges & issues faced by members as well as the sector.
• Promote brand India Image for oilseeds, oils & its value-added products thereby regain lost markets & identify new markets.
•  Generating more value for the members through various services provided by the council.

I & my team at IOPEPC assure members  that we shall give our best to do justice to the objective of the council and look forward for all your support and cooperation to the Council.

Thanking you,

Rutuparna Dole

Chairman
