MUMBAI – Mustard seed prices were steady in key markets across the country while soybean prices declined in Kota and groundnut prices rose at the Visavadar market in Gujarat, traders said. Groundnut prices rose in Visavadar due to lower arrivals but remained steady in Ratlam, they added.

 

MUSTARD seed prices in Jaipur, Rajasthan, held steady at INR 7,300-INR 7,325 per 100 kilograms. Prices rose the previous day as demand from millers was firm, according to Marudhar Trading Agency. Arrivals of mustard seed across the country were at 225,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), down 25,000 bags from 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, 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 5,500 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), up 500 bags from the previous day, he said.

 

SOYBEAN prices at Ratlam in Madhya Pradesh remained 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 50 to INR 4,501 per 100 kg, said Sameriya. Arrivals were at 24,000 bags, down 1,000 bags from the previous day, Sameriya said. 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.
