MUMBAI – Oilseed prices were steady across key markets of the country Tuesday, traders said. Prices of soybean and groundnut had risen the previous day already. Demand for domestic oilseeds is increasing as import of crude edible oils has become costlier due to depreciation in the rupee against the dollar.
MUSTARD seed prices in Jaipur were steady at INR 7,125-INR 7,150 per 100 kilograms, according to Marudhar Trading Agency. Mustard seed arrivals in the country totalled 200,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg) Tuesday, up from 185,000 bags the previous day, according to GGN Research.
In Kota, mustard seed prices were steady at INR 6,500 per 100 kg, said Mahesh Sameriya, a local trader. Arrivals were at 6,000 bags, up 1,000 bags from the previous day, Sameriya added.
SOYBEAN prices in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh were steady at INR 2,800-INR 4,900 per 100 kg after increasing the previous day by INR 200 due to lower arrivals, said Narendra Porwal, a local trader. Arrivals in the market were at 7,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), down 1,000 bags from the previous day, he said.
In Kota, too, soybean prices were steady at INR 4,801 per 100 kg after increasing INR 100 the previous day, as there was higher demand for domestic oilseeds, according to Sameriya. Arrivals were at 17,000 bags, down 1,000 bags from the previous day, he said. With imports becoming costlier, millers have little choice but to procure domestic oilseeds for crushing, rather than relying on imported edible oils to meet the domestic demand, traders said.
Prices of GROUNDNUT in Ratlam were steady at INR 2,800-INR 5,900 per 100 kg on Wednesday. Arrivals fell 1,000 bags from the previous day to 20,000 bags (1 bag = 40 kg), Porwal said.
