SHARP MUSTARD
Article Abstract:
Production of mustard seed in India is expected to be 60 lakh tonnes in the rabi season of 1998-99. This is against 49 lakh tonnes in the rabi season of 1997-98. Thus the total mustard oilseeds production for 1998-99 is likely to be 96.5 lakh tonnes against 83 lakh tonnes in 1997-98. Mustard oil accounts for 30 percent of India's edible oil consumption. Rajasthan is the largest producer of mustard oilseed, and is expected to produce 25 lakh tonnes in 1998-99. Oilmeal exports from India are falling and mustard meal exports may also decline to 500,000 tonnes valued at Rs200 crore in 1998-99 as against 12 lakh tonnes valued at Rs490 crore in 1997-98. (uh)(m)
