In recent years small producer companies have come up in Rajasthan to tap into the lucrative urban demand for coldpressed cooking oils. The state is India’s largest producer of oilseeds and mustard is its signature crop.

In Karauli district of Rajasthan the Dang Vikas Farmer Producer Company (FPC), started a year ago, has set up a processing unit which churns out coldpressed mustard oil. The processing plant, located near Mandarayal, a small town, is attracting a lot of local attention.
