MUMBAI – Prices of mustard seeds fell in the spot market of Jaipur, but were steady in Kota. Soybean prices fell in Kota and Akola, but were steady in Ratlam, while groundnut prices fell in benchmark markets, according to traders.
MUSTARD seed prices in Jaipur, Rajasthan, fell INR 25 from the previous day to INR 7,425-INR 7,450 per 100 kilograms due to poor demand at higher rates, according to Marudhar Trading Agency. Mustard seed arrivals across the country were estimated at 155,000 bags, up 5,000 (1 bag = 50 kg). They included 70,000 bags of the new crop, according to GGN Research.
In the past few days, prices of mustard seeds have risen due to firm demand and concerns about supply because of unfavourable weather conditions. Continuous heavy rains, cold conditions, and dense fog across Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh have damaged the standing crop of mustard, tightening availability.
In Kota, Rajasthan, mustard seed prices were steady at INR 6,800 per 100 kg and arrivals were at 6,000 bags same as the previous day (1 bag = 50 kg), said local trader Mahesh Sameriya.
SOYBEAN prices fell in key markets of Maharashtra. In Akola, prices fell INR 50 to INR 5,500-INR 5,800 per 100 kg, according to GGN Research. In Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, soybean mandi prices were steady at INR 2,900-INR 5,850 per 100 kg, Narendra Porwal, a local trader, said. Arrivals were also steady at 2,000 bags, (1 bag = 40 kg). In Kota, soybean prices were at INR 5,700 per 100 kg, down INR 70 due to subdued demand from millers.
GROUNDNUT prices in Bikaner, Rajasthan, fell nearly INR 50 to INR 7,250-INR 7,360 per 100 kg, according to the average spot price on the National Commodity Derivatives Exchange.
