Profitability analysis of yellow mustard seeds

Profitability analysis of yellow mustard seed: a successful crop yields 1,000 to 1,500 kg per hectare. In 2022, prices rose to €3/kg due to crop losses in Canada and the war in Ukraine, which caused supply issues. The world market price has since stabilised at around €1.5/kg. Locally grown Belgian mustard seed was sold for €2 to €3/kg in 2022. Price negotiations with buyers are necessary to determine the value of supply security and local cultivation. Table 1 shows gross yields per hectare for various yield and price combinations.
