MUMBAI – Mustard seed prices rose in Jaipur tracking higher prices in the international market and firm demand in the spot market, traders said. Soybean and groundnut prices were steady in key markets, they said.
MUSTARD seed prices in Jaipur, Rajasthan, rose INR 125 per 100 kilograms to INR 7,000-INR 7,025, tracking higher prices in the international market, according to Marudhar Trading Agency. Prices also rose as demand was firm amid lower arrivals, traders said. Mustard seed arrivals across the country were at 1.1 million bags (1 bag = 50 kg), down from 1.3 million bags the previous day, according to GGN Research.
The Indian mustard seed market is entering the new season amid weather uncertainty, moderate production growth, tightening stocks, and supportive global edible oil trends, said Amit Gupta, analyst at Kedia Advisory, in a note. These factors together suggest that while short-term volatility may continue, the broader market outlook for mustard seed prices remains firm, Gupta said.
In Kota, Rajasthan, mustard seed were steady at INR 6,400 per 100 kg on higher arrivals, said Mahesh Sameriya, a local trader. Arrivals were at 25,000, up 1,000 bags from the previous day, he said.
SOYBEAN prices in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 2,750-INR 5,650 per 100 kg, after rising by INR 100 the previous day due to firm demand from millers, said Narendra Porwal, a local trader. Arrivals in the Ratlam market were at 2,400 bags (1 bag = 40 kg), same as the previous day. In Kota, too, soybean price were steady at INR 5,350 per 100 kg. Arrivals were at 11,000 bags, up 1,000 bags from the previous day.
