&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Data from Punjab agriculture department says an estimated 1.34 lakh acre was under mustard cultivation in 2021-22, highest in last 15 years. Since 2007, farmers are sowing mustard on 30,000 hectares or 74,000 acres every year&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bathinda: &lt;/em&gt;After diversifying to mustard crop (about 44% jump) in the 2021-22 rabi season, enterprising farmers are now reaping profit by selling the produce for up to Rs.7,000 per quintal, 28% higher than this year&amp;rsquo;s minimum support price (MSP) and an all-time high for the crop in Punjab.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Farm experts and progressive farmers see hope in the emerging trend as the low-cost input mustard crop is instrumental in conserving water.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Nachatar Singh, 31, from Bathinda&amp;rsquo;s Naruana village had sown mustard on 12-acres taken on lease for the first time and recorded a yield of average of 7 quintals from an acre.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In the last kharif or summer crop season, he suffered losses after his cotton fields were infested by pink bollworm.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The average cotton yield was decimated to 4 quintals against the earlier production of 12-16 quintals from an acre. Then I took a calculated risk and diversified to mustard instead of wheat in the rabi season. Oilseed cultivation helped in overcoming previous losses to an extent and I have decided to sow mustard on more area in October this year,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;/p&gt;

Rabi diversification pays dividends to farmers as mustard prices at all-time high in Punjab -Vishal Joshi

-Hindustan Times Data from Punjab agriculture department says an estimated 1.34 lakh acre was under mustard cultivation in 2021-22, highest in last 15 years. Since 2007, farmers are sowing mustard on 30,000 hectares or 74,000 acres every year Bathinda: After diversifying to mustard crop (about 44% jump) in the 2021-22 rabi season, enterprising farmers are now reaping profit by selling the produce for up to Rs.7,000 per quintal, 28% higher than this year’s minimum support price (MSP) and an all-time high for the crop in Punjab. Farm experts and progressive farmers see hope in the emerging trend as the low-cost input mustard crop is instrumental in conserving water. Nachatar Singh, 31, from Bathinda’s Naruana village had sown mustard on 12-acres taken on lease for the first time and recorded a yield of average of 7 quintals from an acre. In the last kharif or summer crop season, he suffered losses after his cotton fields were infested by pink bollworm. “The average cotton yield was decimated to 4 quintals against the earlier production of 12-16 quintals from an acre. Then I took a calculated risk and diversified to mustard instead of wheat in the rabi season. Oilseed cultivation helped in overcoming previous losses to an extent and I have decided to sow mustard on more area in October this year,” he said. Please click here to read more.
