| Abstract: | This paper evaluates the rationale of Pakistan's pursuit to achieve self-sufficiency in edible oil by estimating the comparative advantage of traditional as well as non-traditional edible oilseed crops. The paper demonstrates that Pakistan exhibits a comparative advantage in the production of oilseeds, which include: cottonseed, soybean, rapeseed mustard, and sunflower. The paper supports the policy of edible oil self-sufficiency, as the use od domestically produced seeds is an economically efficient way of saving foreign exchange. |
