1. Nigerseed is included in the Government of India’s MSP list (e.g., MSP ₹ 8717 /quintal for 2024-25). 2. In India, niger is normally sown with the Kharif crops (June–July) and harvested in October–November. 3. Edible oil from nigerseed (locally called ramtil) is traditionally used for cooking by several tribal communities in central and eastern India. All three statements are therefore correct.
