The 'Yellow Revolution' in India is related to the production of:

The Yellow Revolution refers to the effort to increase the production of oilseeds in India, especially mustard and sunflower, whose flowers are yellow. It was launched in 1986-87 to make India self-reliant in edible oils, which it was importing in large quantities.

The Yellow Revolution was carried out through the Technology Mission on Oilseeds, set up in 1986 under the leadership of Sam Pitroda, who is therefore often called the father of the Yellow Revolution. The mission promoted improved seeds, better farming methods, processing technology and support prices for oilseeds such as groundnut, mustard (rapeseed), soybean, sunflower, sesame and safflower. Oilseed production rose sharply in the following years. However, India still imports a large part of its edible oil, especially palm oil, and the government launched the National Mission on Edible Oils - Oil Palm in 2021 to increase domestic production.
