| Abstract | In the calendar year 2006, oilseeds markets have been characterized by considerable diversity but somewhat less dramatic price developments than other crop markets. Rapeseed prices and rapeseed oil prices have increased by almost 20% over the course of 2006. Other oilseeds and product prices have been less bullish. However, an impressive upward tendency for prices of all oilseeds and products was observed in the last quarter of the year. These price developments have been driven by the competition between oilseeds and cereals for acreage, particularly in the US. World prices of wheat and coarse grains have been driven up by reduced harvests in some countries and by booming ethanol production, in a context of declining stock levels. The oilseeds acreage – especially that for soyabeans – has been put under pressure, in turn, pushing prices up. That competition and the increasing demand for rapeseed oil for bio-diesel production have boosted demand and prices for the other vegetable oils as well. The strong increase in meal prices at the end of 2006 is also a consequence of strong cereal prices, as oilseed meal is increasingly demanded as a feed substitute for the relatively more expensive cereals. Stocks for soyabeans in the US have reached record level in 2006, underpinning the level of oilseeds stocks worldwide. Despite strong oilseeds demand and prices, high stocks level in 2006 can be explained by good harvests and the expectation of even higher oilseeds prices in 2007. Prices are expected to strengthen further in 2007 as oilseeds demand is expected to remain strong and high maize prices continue to pressure US soybean acreage. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
