What yield and price does sabja (sweet basil seed) give, and who buys it?

Sabja yields are modest, commonly in the range of about 3 to 6 quintal per acre depending on climate and management. The buyers are mostly traders supplying the falooda, sherbet, cold drink and health food trade, plus some exporters, since India exports sabja seed. There is no MSP. Price has a wide range and depends heavily on quality, cleanliness and the season, and it can swing when supply changes. The better prices go to clean, well graded, properly dried seed. As with other niche seeds, the danger is growing on a verbal promise and then finding no buyer at a fair rate. Talk to spice and seed traders in your region, confirm demand and a price band before sowing, and treat any single high figure from a seed seller with caution.
