Option 2 : Narendra Modi

The correct answer is Narendra Modi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 10 August 2021 announced a National Edible Oil Mission-Oil Palm (NMEO-OP) to make India self-sufficient in cooking oils, including palm oil, as he stressed reducing the dependence on imports.
India is dependent on imports of edible oil to meet domestic demand.
Of the total imports, palm oil constitutes about 55 per cent.
The government will invest more than ₹11,000 crore via the National Mission on Oilseeds and Oil Palm to provide farmers everything possible, including better seeds and technology.
India produces less than half of the roughly 2.4 crore tonnes of edible oil that it consumes annually.
It imports the rest, buying palm oil from Indonesia and Malaysia, soyoil from Brazil and Argentina, and sunflower oil, mainly from Russia and Ukraine.
