Mustard Oil Export from India 2025: FOB Pricing, Grades & Complete Buyer Guide

India dominates global mustard oil production, contributing over 60% of world supply. For international buyers in the Gulf, Middle East, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Southeast Asia, Indian mustard oil offers the best combination of quality, pungency, and competitive FOB pricing. This 2025 guide covers everything from grades and specifications to export documentation and how to find verified suppliers.

Mustard Oil Grades Available for Bulk Export from India

Kachi Ghani Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil is India's most traditional and sought-after variety. Extracted by cold pressing at low temperature, it retains all natural pungency, Omega-3 fatty acids, and allyl isothiocyanate — the compound responsible for its distinctive sharp taste. Erucic acid content 42-47%. This grade is preferred by buyers in Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Gulf countries for culinary use. Refined Double Filtered Mustard Oil is processed to remove impurities, resulting in a lighter colour and milder taste. Erucic acid reduced to under 5% making it suitable for European and North American markets. Available as Grade 1 and Grade 2.
