Oilseed crops are the second most important determinant of the agricultural economy, next only to cereals within the segment of field crops. The present study assessed the trend and relationship between MSP, CoC, area and productivity of oilseed crops. The data collected from secondary sources such as from DA&FW, CACP and frontline demonstration reports were used for analysis. The increase in Minimum Support Price (MSP) during 2017 to 2021 ranged from 73.3% in rapeseed -mustard to 29.5% in niger crop. The Cost of cultivation (CoC) has increased steadily for all the oilseed crops. The area under different oilseed crop increased except for sunflower (-6.0%), safflower (-21.9%) and niger (-50.8). The productivity for all the oilseed crops showed increasing trend.
