Why are farmers growing more oilseed than they used to?

Farmers are growing more oilseed due to rising global demand for vegetable oils, driven by their use in food products, biofuels, and industrial applications. Additionally, oilseeds like soybeans and canola are often more profitable compared to traditional crops, incentivizing farmers to shift their focus. Advances in agricultural technology and practices have also improved yields, making oilseed production increasingly attractive. Finally, government policies and subsidies in some regions have further encouraged the cultivation of oilseeds.
