MUMBAI – Oilseed prices held steady in key markets across the country as overall demand remained sluggish, traders said. Demand for soybean was weak due to reduced interest in soymeal on availability of alternatives such as dried distillers' grains with solubles. However, groundnut prices may rise in coming days if arrivals decline, they added.
MUSTARD seed prices in Jaipur were steady at INR 7,275-INR 7,300 per 100 kilograms as demand from millers was firm, according to Marudhar Trading Agency. Arrivals of mustard seed across the country were at 250,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), same as the previous day, according to GGN Research.
In Kota, Rajasthan, mustard seed prices were at INR 6,700 per 100 kg, unchanged from the previous day, said Mahesh Sameriya, a trader. However, prices could rise as a part of the kharif mustard crop in the state was damaged due to heavy rains at the end of October, he said. Arrivals were at 5,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), the same as the previous day, he said.
SOYBEAN prices at Ratlam in Madhya Pradesh held steady at INR 2,500-INR 4,700 per 100 kg, said Narendra Porwal, a local trader. Arrivals were at 11,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), the same as the previous day, he added.
In Kota, soybean prices remained steady at INR 4,651 per 100 kg. Arrivals were at 25,000 bags, down 5,000 bags from the previous day, Sameriya said. Prices had risen Friday by INR 50 per 100 kg, as demand from millers was firm, he said.
Prices of GROUNDNUT in Ratlam were steady at INR 2,500-INR 5,200 per 100 kg amid poor demand, Porwal said. Arrivals were at 20,000 bags (1 bag = 40 kg), the same as the previous day, he said. However, prices are likely to increase in the coming days as arrivals begin to fall in December, he said. October and November are the peak months for groundnut arrivals after which they start to decline.
