MUMBAI – Mustard seed and soybean prices were mixed in the key markets across the country, while groundnut prices were steady across key markets, traders said. Mustard seed prices rose in one market and fell in another, while soybean prices remained steady in one and rose in another, they said.

 

MUSTARD seed prices in Jaipur, Rajasthan, rose by INR 50 to INR 7,225-INR 7,250 per 100 kilograms due to increased miller demand and lower arrivals, according to Marudhar Trading Agency. Mustard seed arrivals nationwide totalled 225,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kilograms), down 25,000 bags from the previous day, according to GGN Research.

 

In Kota, mustard seed prices fell by INR 300 to INR 6,500 per 100 kg due to poor demand at higher rates, Mahesh Sameriya, a trader, said. Arrivals were at 5,000 bags, the same as the previous day, Sameriya said.

 

SOYBEAN prices at Ratlam in Madhya Pradesh were steady at INR 2,550-INR 4,750 per 100 kg, after rising the previous day, Narendra Porwal, a local trader, said. Arrivals in the market were at 11,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), the same as the previous day, he said. 

 

In Kota, soybean prices rose by INR 20 to INR 4,601 per 100 kg, according to Sameriya. Arrivals fell by 2,000 bags to 25,000 bags, he said. With imports becoming costlier, millers have little choice but to procure domestic oilseeds for crushing, traders said. According to Sandeep Bajoria, chief executive officer of the Sunvin Group, import contracts for about 70,000 tonnes of crude soybean oil in December and January have been cancelled after prices of imported soyoil rose by INR 2 per litre.

 

Prices of GROUNDNUT in Ratlam were steady at INR 2,500-INR 5,200 per 100 kg, Porwal said. Arrivals were steady at 18,000 bags (1 bag = 40 kg), he said. Prices will start rising in the coming days as arrivals have begun to fall, traders said. Groundnut arrivals typically peak in October and November.
