This update is extremely important for mustard farmers and daily mandi price followers. On 17 January 2026, mustard seed prices showed clear strength across major markets in the country. Notably, mustard traded well above the Minimum Support Price (MSP of ₹5,950 per quintal) in most mandis, offering strong price support to farmers.
Mandis in Gujarat, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh witnessed robust demand for mustard and Lohi Black varieties, which helped prices remain firm. However, in markets with heavy arrivals, rates stayed within a limited range. Today’s mandi trends clearly indicate that quality and arrivals are playing a decisive role in price variation.
