The lack of good infrastructure and cohesive government policies slows the oilseeds production in India. Further, the recent crash in the mustard seeds market has put pressure on the prices. Currently, in Haryana, mustard prices fetch ₹ 1500 per quintal over MSP. Accordingly, the mustard seed cultivators in the state are elated as the prices rose over the minimum support price. Also, the harvesting began early this year having a positive impact on the prices. For instance, yellow mustard (desi Sarson) cost stood at ₹6500 per quintal while black (hybrid) seeds cost had increased to ₹5800 per quintal.
In another report for Mustard seeds estimate production by USDA, the World Mustard seed production for 2021-22 is estimated to increase by 4% to 741 lakh tonnes.
