Model-based simulations indicate that higher levels of protection would increase the burden on consumers, but do little to meet key policy goals of supporting producers and reducing import dependence. A shift to direct support of oilseed producer prices would increase output, but may be complex to implement and subject to WTO discipline. Liberalization of oilseed imports, by permitting large gains in processing efficiency, could generate a stream of benefits that would allow producers, consumers, and processors to be better off, and also improve the trade balance. 606 $aOil industries$zIndia 606 $aOilseed plants$xProcessing$zIndia 606 $aAgriculture and state$zIndia 606 $aFree trade$zIndia 615 0$aOil industries 615 0$aOilseed plants$xProcessing 615 0$aAgriculture and state 615 0$aFree trade 700 $aPersaud$b Suresh Chand$f1969-$01391712 701 $aLandes$b Maurice$01402550 712 02$aUnited States.$bDepartment of Agriculture.$bEconomic Research Service. 801 0$bORE 801 1$bORE 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910696880403321 996 $aThe role of policy and industry structure in India's oilseed markets$93548473 997 $aUNINA
