MUMBAI – Mustard seed prices fell in one key spot market but rose in another owing to firm demand for seeds with higher oil content, traders said. Prices of soybean and groundnut were also mixed across key markets, they said.

 

MUSTARD seed prices in Jaipur, Rajasthan, fell INR 75 from Friday to INR 7,250-INR 7,275 per 100 kg as arrivals increased, according to Marudhar Trading Agency. In the past few days, mustard seed prices had risen around INR 275 per 100 kg. Arrivals of mustard seed across the country were at 275,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), up 10,000 bags from the previous day, according to GGN Research.

 

In Kota, also in Rajasthan, however, prices of the oilseed rose INR 50 from the previous day to INR 6,751 per 100 kg, said local trader Mahesh Sameriya. Arrivals were unchanged at 6,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), he said. Prices of mustard seed with higher oil content rose. "There was firm demand for seeds with 44% oil content," Sameriya said. Increased concern about supply also supported the price, he said. Part of the kharif mustard crop in the state was damaged by the heavy rainfall at the end of October, he said.

 

SOYBEAN prices in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 2,200-INR 4,750 per 100 kg, said Narendra Porwal, a local trader. Arrivals were also steady at 8,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), he added. Prices remained steady due to reduced demand for soymeal, a byproduct of the extraction of oil from soybean, traders said.

 

In Kota, soybean prices were steady at INR 4,671. Arrivals were also steady at 45,000 bags, Sameriya said. Prices of soybean in Visavadar, Gujarat, rose by INR 500 in two days to INR 4,500-INR 5,200 per 100 kg as imports of oilseeds fell, said Ashok Virvani, a trader from Gujarat.

 

Prices of GROUNDNUT in Ratlam were steady at INR 3,100-INR 5,250 per 100 kg, as demand did not pick up, Porwal said. Arrivals were at 26,000 bags (1 bag = 40 kg), up 4,000 bags from the previous day, he said. In Visavadar, however, groundnut prices rose INR 200 in 2-3 days to INR 4,000-INR 6,500 per 100 kg depending on the variety. Prices rose on arrivals of good quality groundnut, Virvani said. Government procurement of oilseeds is also going on, which supported prices, he added.
