Mumbai, March 24 -- Solvent Extractor's Association of India or SEA has noted that final area coverage for Rabi oilseed crops as of 24th January 2025 has decreased by 1.76 lakh hectares on year, primarily due to a reduction in the area for rapeseed-mustard, which has dropped by 2.53 lakh hectares to 89.30 lakh hectares, compared to 91.83 lakh hectares last year. On the other hand, the area under groundnut and sunflower has seen marginal increases of 23,000 hectares and 31,000 hectares, respectively, reaching 3.65 lakh hectares and 74,000 hectares.
