MUMBAI – Prices of mustard and groundnut fell in the key markets, while those of soybean rose, said traders. Groundnut prices fell due to lower demand amid the availability of cheaper palm oil, they said.
Prices of MUSTARD seed in Jaipur, Rajasthan, fell INR 25 to INR 7,475-INR 7,500 per 100 kg, according to Marudhar Trading Agency, an agricultural commodities trader. Prices fell as there was lower demand at previously increased rates, traders said.
