MUMBAI – Soybean and mustard seed prices Tuesday rose across key markets of the country, traders said. Falling arrivals and firm demand for domestic oilseeds from millers supported prices, they said.
MUSTARD seed prices in Jaipur, Rajasthan, rose INR 25 to INR 7,150-7,175 per 100 kilograms due to strong demand from millers, according to Marudhar Trading Agency. Mustard seed arrivals in the country totalled 190,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), same as the previous day.
In Kota, Rajasthan, mustard seed prices rose INR 20 to INR 6,700 per 100 kg due to concerns about crop damage and firm miller demand in the state, said Mahesh Sameriya, a local trader. Arrivals were steady at 5,000 bags, Sameriya said.
SOYBEAN prices at Ratlam in Madhya Pradesh rose INR 50 to INR 2,850-INR 4,950 per 100 kg, said Narendra Porwal, a local trader. Arrivals in the market were at 4,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), the same as the previous day, he said.
Soybean prices in Kota rose INR 20 to INR 4,970 per 100 kg due to lower arrivals, according to Sameriya. Arrivals were at 12,000 bags, down 3,000 bags from the previous day, he said. As imports become more expensive, millers have little choice but to procure domestic oilseeds for crushing rather than rely on imported edible oils to meet domestic demand, traders said.
Prices of GROUNDNUT in Ratlam were steady at INR 2,800-INR 5,900 per 100 kg. Arrivals were steady at 16,000 bags (1 bag = 40 kg), Porwal said.
