AWL Agri Business Ltd has welcomed the encouraging results of the Solvent Extractors' Association of India’s (SEA) Regenerative Mustard Model Farm Programme, which delivered mustard yield improvements of up to 30 per cent across demonstration farms in Rajasthan, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh during the 2025–26 Rabi season.
AWL participated in the initiative as the lead sponsor in partnership with Bunge India, Louis Dreyfus India, Godrej Agrovet, VVF India, JR Agro Industries and Arihant Solvex, while Solidaridad Network Asia served as the programme’s implementation partner.
The programme demonstrates how regenerative agriculture can improve farm productivity while promoting healthier soils, efficient input use and better farm economics. At a time when India imports nearly 55–60 per cent of its edible oil requirements, improving domestic oilseed productivity has become a national priority. The encouraging results reinforce the potential of regenerative farming practices to strengthen India's edible oil value chain while enhancing farmer livelihoods.
Shrikant Kanhere, managing director and chief executive officer, AWL Agri Business Ltd said, “India’s journey towards edible oil self-reliance begins with improving productivity at the farm level. The encouraging results of this programme demonstrate that regenerative agriculture can help farmers produce more while improving soil health and using inputs more efficiently. Collaborative initiatives like these create a scalable model that can strengthen farmer incomes, build climate resilience and contribute meaningfully to India’s long-term food and nutrition security.”
