Soybean Cultivation in Rajasthan
Rajasthan is the 3rd-largest producer of Soybean in India. Soybean (सोयाबीन) here is a oilseed crop with a Kharif (Sow: Jun-Jul, Harvest: Sep-Nov) season (Kharif (Sow: Jun-Jul, Harvest: Sep-Nov)). The prices above reflect wholesale rates at Rajasthan's regulated APMC mandis; the actual rate you get depends on grade, moisture and the day's arrivals.
Soybean MSP & Procurement in Rajasthan
The Minimum Support Price for Soybean is ₹5,708/quintal (Kharif 2026-27). Government agencies procure Soybean at MSP in Rajasthan during the marketing season, so you should never sell below ₹5,708. Today's market modal price of ₹7,035 is above MSP - the open market is paying well.
Where to Sell Soybean in Rajasthan
Sell at your nearest APMC mandi - major ones include Jaipur Krishi Upaj Mandi, Jodhpur APMC, Kota Grain Market, Bikaner Mandi, Sri Ganganagar Mandi. Compare rates across 2-3 mandis the same day, grade and clean your produce for 15-20% higher bids, and register on eNAM to reach buyers beyond Rajasthan. Use a Kisan Credit Card for storage finance to sell in the lean season.
Government Support for Rajasthan Soybean Farmers
Rajasthan Soybean growers can use PM Kisan income support, crop insurance, and irrigation subsidies (drip, solar pump). See everything on the Subsidy Finder.
