MUMBAI – Prices of oilseeds were mixed in key markets on Friday, said traders. Mustard prices fell, while groundnut prices were down in one market and steady in another. Prices of soybean were steady across key markets, traders said. Oilseed prices are expected to rise next week due to higher demand during the Navratri and Diwali festivals, market participants said.
Prices of MUSTARD in Kota, Rajasthan, fell INR 250 to INR 6,600 per 100 kilograms as millers have already stocked up in the past few days and there was lower demand on Friday, Mahesh Sameriya, a local trader, said. Arrivals were at 5,000 bags (1 bag = 90 kg), the same as the previous day, he said. In the coming days, however, prices could rise by up to INR 500 owing to festival season demand, he said.
