MUMBAI – Mustard seed prices rose in Kota and were steady in Jaipur and those of soybean and groundnut were steady across key markets of the country, traders said. Demand for domestic oilseeds are seen increasing as import of crude edible oils has become costlier due to depreciation in the rupee against the dollar, traders said.
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) Wednesday, same as the previous day, according to GGN Research.
In Kota, mustard seed prices rose by INR 100 to INR 6,600 per 100 kg, said Mahesh Sameriya, a local trader. Arrivals were at 5,000 bags, down by 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 on Monday by INR 200 due to lower arrivals, said Narendra Porwal, a local trader. Arrivals in the market were at 6,000 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 on Monday as there was higher demand for domestic oilseeds, according to Sameriya. Arrivals were at 20,000 bags, up 3,000 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 19,000 bags (1 bag = 40 kg), Porwal said.
