Cottonseed, oil & meal conclave 2025 to be held on August 2, 3

Vijayawada, July 15 (UNI) The Solvent Extractors’ Association of India (SEA) & All India Cottonseed Crushers’ Association (AICOSCA) will organise the sixth SEA–AICOSCA Cottonseed, Oil & Meal Conclave 2025 in here on August two and three.

The two-day conclave will focus on promoting the cottonseed oil among consumers by discussing and highlighting its myriad virtues.
The conclave will be a reminder to optimally utilizing cottonseed/cake/meal in our daily and dairy lives.
Dr. Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani, Union Minister of State for Communications, will inaugurate the event along with distinguished guests including AP Agriculture Minister K Atchannaidu, Roop Rashi, CEO of the Khadi and Village Industries Commission, O P Goenka, Director of 3F Limited, and Dr. R Sarada Jayalakshmi Devi, Vice-Chancellor of ANGRAU, Guntur and several industry leaders will also participate in the conclave.
The conclave will explore ways to maximize the potential of cottonseed oil and its by-products to enhance India’s edible oil security, livestock feed industry, and rural economy.

Despite being a very important crop, cotton acreage has declined by 9.8 percent in 2024-2025, down to 114.47 lakh hectares, with production expected to fall to 307 lakh bales from 325 lakh bales the previous year. Since cottonseed comprises nearly two-thirds of the cotton weight, this decline has a direct impact on oil and feed production.

Sanjeev Asthana, President, SEA said: “India produces 12 lakh tonnes of cottonseed oil annually, making it the third-largest edible oil after soybean and rapeseed. It is widely used in Gujarat for cooking due to its superior frying properties, its adoption in other regions remains limited and is mainly consumed by institutional buyers like restaurants and food processors.
"Through this conclave we envisage to improve the awareness and encourage adoption of Cotton Seed Oil for domestic consumption. The conclave will thus focus on propagating the use and value of cottonseed oil, advancing processing technologies, and promoting cottonseed meal’s role in dairy nutrition.”
