India's rapeseed-mustard production is set to rise by 3.5% to 119.4 lakh tonnes in the 2025-26 rabi season, according to the Solvent Extractors' Association (SEA).
This boost is attributed to expanded acreage and advancements in agronomic practices, resulting in an increase from last year's 115.2 lakh tonnes.
In the backdrop of favourable weather conditions and policy support, Rajasthan continues to lead as the top producer, with notable gains seen in Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and Gujarat. Assam, however, reported a decline in yield.
