Mustard Prices Gain Momentum: Farmers Getting Strong Rates in Maharashtra and Rajasthan Mandis

Farmers are finally seeing encouraging signs in the mustard market. According to today’s mandi update, mustard market prices in several Rajasthan markets are trading well above the MSP of ₹6,200 per quintal, while the latest mandi price in Mumbai has touched an impressive ₹9,500 per quintal.
