The northern state of Rajasthan had the highest production volume of oilseeds of over 10.6 million metric tons in fiscal year 2025/26 across India. Gujarat followed second that year, with Madhya Pradesh ranking third.
Rajasthan in the Indian economy
Most prominently, Rajasthan produces rapeseed, mustard, sesame, and groundnut. Its economy relies on oilseed production, along with other agricultural crops including bajra (pearl millets). The northern state contributes significantly to the mining sector and is a major producer of cement for the country. On the other hand, the region is popular for its heritage sites and tourism, both domestic and international.
Oilseeds in India
With about 12 percent of its land area dedicated solely for oilseeds, India is among the largest producers worldwide. As a rabi and kharif crop, it is cultivated year-round, giving a more consistent yield and income to farmers. Oilseeds have a high domestic consumption and are also traded in and out of the country. Among agricultural crops, this sector added about eight percent to the economy.
