MUMBAI – Mustard seed prices rose in Jaipur and Kota as the intensity of new crop arrivals decreased, traders said. Soybean and groundnut prices were steady in key markets, they added.
MUSTARD seed prices in Jaipur, Rajasthan, rose INR 75 to INR 6,700-INR 6,725 per 100 kilograms, according to Marudhar Trading Agency. Mustard seed arrivals across the country were estimated at 500,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg) of the new crop and 50,000 bags of the old crop, according to GGN Research. Arrivals of new crops on Friday were at 700,000 bags. However, traders said expectations of higher rabi output may push prices further down. Rabi mustard acreage was 8.94 million hectares, up 3.2% from the past year, according to the agriculture ministry data.
In Kota, Rajasthan, mustard seed prices rose INR 100 to INR 6,600 per 100 kg as arrivals were lower, according to Mahesh Sameriya, a local trader. Arrivals in the market were 14,000 bags, down 2,000 bags from the previous day, he said.
SOYBEAN prices in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh were steady at INR 2,700-INR 5,500 per 100 kg, Narendra Porwal, a local trader, said. Arrivals were at 2,800 bags (1 bag = 40 kg), unchanged from the previous day.
Soybean prices in Kota were steady at INR 5,351 per 100 kg after increasing Thursday due to firm demand from millers, Sameriya said. Arrivals were at 12,000 bags (1 bag = 40 kg), up 1,000 bags from the previous day.
GROUNDNUT prices in Ratlam were steady at INR 3,150-INR 8,050 per 100 kg, according to Porwal. Arrivals were steady at 3,600 bags (1 bag = 30 kg). Groundnut prices could increase in the near term due to concerns over lower output, traders said.
