- Genetic enhancement and conservation of local germplasm
- Institutionalization of quality seed production and distribution mechanisms
- Development of varieties with suitable traits (high oil content, tolerant to drought, waterlogging, phyllody, and sesame black stem rot)
- Development of area-specific production technology packages (integrated crop, soil, and pest management)
- Strong coordination and linkages with research, extension, and private organizations for the effective implementation of scaling up the oilseed production technology
- Improved specialized laboratory testing for residues, enhancing awareness training on postharvest management and pesticides use, farm machinery, and quality assurance systems to meet the international standards.
