The ICAR–Indian Institute of Oilseeds Research (ICAR-IIOR), Hyderabad, will organise a National Consultation and Industry Interface Meet on September 10, 2026, to promote the commercialisation and large-scale adoption of innovative technologies for sustainable agriculture.
Themed “Innovations in Varieties/Hybrids, Biologicals and Biopolymer-Enabled Multilayer Seed Coating Technologies for Sustainable Agriculture: Industry Partnerships for Technology Commercialization and Scaling,” the event will be held at the ICAR-IIOR campus in Hyderabad.
The initiative comes against the backdrop of rising demand for edible oils and the need to accelerate domestic oilseed production to strengthen India’s self-reliance in the sector. ICAR-IIOR has developed a range of technologies aimed at addressing these requirements, including improved oilseed varieties and hybrids, biopolymer-enabled seed enhancement technologies and microbial biopesticide formulations.
The industry interface meet is expected to bring together representatives from the seed industry, biopesticide and bio-input companies, technology licensees, agri-business firms, start-ups and entrepreneurs. ICAR-IIOR will showcase its technologies and explore opportunities for technology transfer, licensing, public-private partnerships and large-scale deployment.
The consultation is expected to strengthen research–industry linkages and facilitate greater collaboration among stakeholders. It will also focus on validating, commercialising and scaling innovative agricultural technologies to benefit farmers and support the sustainable growth of India’s oilseed sector.
