Mustard oil prices in India remain firm because mustard seed arrivals have declined and farmer-held stocks are shrinking. Processing plants are buying actively to cover near-term needs, and some crushers are paying higher procurement prices.
Sowing for the 2026/27 mustard crop is lagging last year's pace in Rajasthan and other major growing regions.
Tighter mustard seed supply and active crushing demand support domestic oil prices in the near term, while soybean, cottonseed and rice bran oils remain under pressure from subdued demand. Slow sowing and dry soils could tighten next season's supply further if November rains do not arrive.
