MUMBAI – Oilseed prices were mixed in key markets of the country. In Rajasthan, mustard seed prices rose in Jaipur due to firm demand for new crops, but these were steady in Kota, traders said.

MUSTARD seed prices in Jaipur rose INR 50 to INR 6,825-INR 6,850 per 100 kilograms despite bumper arrivals, as there was good demand for new crops with higher oil content, according to Marudhar Trading Agency.
