Oilseed production through Cluster Frontline demonstration is a strategy to increase oilseeds crops under various agro climatic condition of Kohima district in Nagaland. The study focused on horizontal dissemination of oilseed production during Kharif and Rabi period of 2017 to 2019. It observed a wide yield gap between achievable potential yield and demonstrated yield mainly due to extension gap and technology gap. The maximum extension gap on average was found in groundnut (156kg/ha), followed by sesamum (172 kg/ha) and toria (115 kg/ha). The district has the potential to increase oilseed production in groundnut from 15.07% to 27.85%, sesamum (17.77% to 20.76%) and toria (15.38% to 22.80%), respectively. The technological index varied on average between 33.34 to 47.44%. The incremental benefit: cost ratio on average varied between 2.53 to 3.33 indicating that selection of viable improved technologies would boost oilseed production substantially for doubling farmers’ income.
