Oil producers have urged the government to declare Rajasthan as a mustard state as it accounts for 40-45 per cent of the country’s production of the oilseed, an industry official said on Saturday.

The president of Mustard Oil Producers Association of India (MOPA), Babu Lal Data told reporters here that the body under the aegis of the Central Organization for Oil Industry and Trade (COOIT) is organising a seminar here to discuss various issues of the edible oil industry.

“We have been repeatedly urging the government to declare Rajasthan as a mustard state,” Data said.
