Abstract:
Edible oilseeds are cash crop foods consumed on daily basis. Since oilseeds are among highly imported and exported crops, it is influenced by advanced and intensive use of processing technology which converts nearly over 86% of total oilseed production. Out of this, the larger share of conversion was owned by countries with high processing technology, but the shortage of supply of edible oil is still managed to exist due to production problems leading to food insecurity. With the development of agricultural infrastructure and production technology advancement, a critical review of the effect of factors affecting oilseed production and processing in connection with food security and production sustainability becomes essential. In this content and extent, the research review aims to identify factors and challenges associated with oilseeds processing from industrial location theory to product maximization to nurture information for small, medium, and mega oil refineries. The consequences of food insecurity associated with dissatisfied demand, rise in oil price, chemical contamination, and oil adulteration are expected to be a future challenge in processing industries with a critical impact on economic, societal, and political instability.
