West Bengal is preparing to launch its own mustard oil brand as part of a self-sufficiency initiative. The state government aims to boost oilseed production and reduce reliance on external suppliers. NDDB will assist in establishing the brand and support procurement processes based on their expertise. Farmers will be encouraged to grow mustard, diversifying from excessive potato cultivation.
