Reviews a final contractor report (XD-AAL-694-A) in a project to improve the management and operations of India's oilseed industry. Review was prepared by a non-project employee of the contractor. Clarification/correction is made regarding project personnel and training inputs. It is noted that the diffusion of project innovations was planned to occur after project completion, and that the report's system recommendations are too mild. Lessons learned are that: (1) U.S. study tours should exceed three weeks in projects involving a geographically scattered, complex industry; (2) the difficulties in recruiting qualified long-term experts (who, at least in India, should have extensive plant experience) indicate a need to stress long-term, in-service training and the use of many short-term experts; (3) more time than may seem adequate should be allowed for administration, so as to accomodate USAID/I audit and reporting requirements; (4) flexibility should characterize project schedules (to accomodate unforeseen developments) and training and study programs for high-level personnel (to permit full participation).
