The sowing of mustard, a major rabi oilseed, has increased by about 5 percent in Gujarat during the current season, mainly due to a significant increase in Saurashtra. It is due to the attractive prices.
Significant increase in mustard sowing
As per the latest data released by the State Agriculture Department, a total of 2,57,400 hectares of mustard has been sown in Gujarat during the current season. It was planted on 2,35,400 hectares a year ago in the period under review. This shows that there has been a total increase of 12,000 hectares or 5.09% in mustard sowing in Gujarat this time. The main reason is a significant increase in its sowing in Saurashtra, the third-largest growing region of the state. However, at present, mustard has broken due to the downfall in the international market on a large scale.
Future Scenario
