National Mustard Model Farm Initiative
AWL Agri Business Ltd. (AWL) is partnering with the Solvent Extractors’ Association of India (SEA) and Solidaridad Regional Expertise Centre (SREC) to advance the Regenerative Mustard Mission – Sustainable Mustard Farm Project. The agreement, signed for two years, is effective from September 2025 to August 2027.
Project Overview and Goals
This collaboration aims to establish 3,000 mustard model farms across key mustard-growing states. Approximately 20,000 farmers are expected to benefit from these model farms, field schools, and digital advisory platforms. The initiative strengthens India’s oilseed production and aligns with the Aatmanirbhar Bharat Vision.
Implementation and Reach
The 3,000 mustard model farms will be established in nine districts, including Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Haryana, scaling up from the existing 1,500 farms. These farms will demonstrate regenerative agriculture practices, satellite-based monitoring, soil health management, and climate-resilient techniques to bridge the yield gap in mustard cultivation.
Expected Outcomes
The initiative seeks to train and support 20,000 farmers through demonstration plots, farmer field schools, and digital advisory platforms. By adopting sustainable practices, the project aims for a 30% increase in smallholder productivity and income, supporting India’s National Mission on Edible Oils – Oilseeds (NMEO-OS) and the government’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
