MUMBAI – Mustard seed prices rose in Jaipur while soybean prices fell in Kota on Wednesday, traders said. Groundnut prices were steady, but prices may rise in coming days if arrivals decline, they added.

 

MUSTARD seed prices in Jaipur, Rajasthan, rose INR 25 to INR 7,300-INR 7,325 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, also in Rajasthan, mustard seed prices were at INR 6,700 per 100 kg, unchanged from the previous day, Mahesh Sameriya, a trader, said. However, prices could rise as 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 were 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 fell by INR 100 to INR 4,551 per 100 kg. Arrivals were at 25,000 bags, same as the previous day, Sameriya said. Owing to availability of alternatives to soymeal, such as dried distillers grains with solubles, soybean demand is low, which is why prices fell, traders said. Soymeal is a byproduct of the extraction of oil from soybean.

 

Soybean prices had recovered a few weeks back by INR 150-INR 200 per 100 kg as there was some demand from oil plants in anticipation of rise in prices. But the price levels could not be sustained, 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.
