STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS 
Act 56 of 2013.-  In order to meet the growing demand for edible oils, oil palm was identified  
as a suitable crop for cultivation in the country in view of its high oil yielding capacity.  Karnataka is 
one of the States wherein the Oil Palm Project has been taken up with the Government of India 
assistance.  Since, fresh fruit bunches of oil palm have to be processed within 24 hours of plucking to 
extract oil, a  close coordination between the grower and processor is necessary.  Therefore, it is 
 2 
considered necessary to have a legislation for regulation of cultivation, production and processing of 
oil palm and for matters connected therewith.  The Bill among other things provides for;- 
(i) Assuring the grower sale of his produce and payment for sale of such produce; 
(ii) Constitution of a Project Management Committee to take measures regarding 
development of oil palm cultivation through implenentation of programme of Oil Palm 
Development in the State; 
(iii) Constitution of a Price Fixation Committee to ensure the grower reasonable price for 
oil palm fresh fruit bunches; 
(iv) Appointment of Oil Palm Commissioner to Co- ordinate activities of oil palm growers 
and the industries engaged in processing oil palm and for exercising such powers as 
are indicated by this Act; 
(v)  Declaration of factory zone for the purpose of ensuring regular supply of fresh oil 
palm fruit bunches to the factory situated in the zone; 
(vi) Registration of oil palm growers; 
(vii) Payment of compensation to the oil palm growers by Entrepreneur on account of the 
failure to buy oil palm fresh fruit bunches by the Entrepreneur or Occupier of factory; 
(viii) Proper implementation of Oil palm programme in the State.   
The Bill also provides for certain other incidental matters.    
Hence, the Bill.
