Mustard Prices Hit 8,825 Rupees Per Quintal on July 11 as Supply Tightens

Mustard seed prices in India climbed to 8,825 rupees per quintal on July 11, 2026, nearing season highs as supply tightens and edible oil demand strengthens. Jaipur mandi led the rally, while prices across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh ranged from 7,780 to 8,115 rupees per quintal. Market experts say prices could breach 9,000 rupees if weak supply and strong demand continue.

Why mustard prices jumped to 8,825 rupees

Mustard seed prices surged on July 10-11 due to three factors: low arrivals at mandis, strong domestic demand, and rising global edible oil costs. Total arrivals across India on July 10 reached only 65.25 lakh bori, with Rajasthan accounting for 31.25 lakh bori. Market experts noted that weak supply combined with mandi demand pushed prices to season highs.

Mandi rates across major states on July 11

Jaipur mandi in Rajasthan led with 8,825 rupees per quintal for conditioned mustard. Delhi’s Lawrence Road quoted 8,000 rupees, Bharatpur 7,975 rupees, Rewari 7,900 rupees, and Charkhi Dadri 7,825 rupees. In Madhya Pradesh, Devass mandi quoted 8,610 rupees, while Mandsaur reached 7,647 rupees. Uttar Pradesh mandis ranged from 6,700 to 7,700 rupees per quintal.

Edible oil costs push mustard higher

Mustard oil retail prices climbed to 193.54 rupees per kilogram on July 11, up 10.74 percent year-over-year, according to the Price Monitoring Cell. Rising import costs for edible oils and weak rupee exchange rates fueled the surge. Solvent Extractors Association executive director B.V. Mehta cited higher shipping costs, insurance, and geopolitical tensions in West Asia as drivers of import price increases.

What happens if supply stays tight

If current conditions persist, mustard seed prices could touch 9,000 rupees per quintal, market experts said. Weak arrivals and strong demand from oil mills and exporters support further gains. However, new crop arrivals and any improvement in supply could cap upside. The average mandi price on July 11 stood at 7,201 rupees, up 115 rupees from July 10.

Final Thoughts

Mustard prices at 8,825 rupees per quintal reflect tight supply and rising edible oil demand. Investors in oilseed futures and agricultural commodities should monitor weekly arrivals and global oil prices for direction.
