Oil crops are rich sources of oils, proteins, minerals, vitamins, and dietary fibers for both human and animal feeding and provide the raw material for the production of biodiesel. Oil crops are soybean, cottonseed, sunflower, canola, rapeseed, peanut, safflower, flax, sesame, coconut, castor, copra, etc.

Almost 50% of the global food protein supply comes from cereal seeds. Soybean, peanut, common bean, pea, lupine, chickpea, faba bean, lentil, grass pea, cowpea, pigeon pea, etc. are currently the most important legumes for human consumption and animal feed. Because of the edible contents of their seeds; grain legumes, cereals, and other minor crops etc. are edible seeds growing for plant protein for food and feed.
