MUMBAI – Mustard seed prices fell in benchmark markets of Jaipur and Kota in Rajasthan on Wednesday as demand was sluggish at higher rates, traders said. Soybean prices fell in Kota and were steady in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, and groundnut prices were steady in key markets, they said.
MUSTARD seed prices in Jaipur fell INR 100 to INR 7,250-INR 7,275 per 100 kilograms, according to Marudhar Trading Agency. Prices fell despite lower arrivals, as demand was poor, traders at the agency said. Mustard seed arrivals across the country were at 900,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), down from 1.0 million bags on the previous day.
In Kota, mustard seed prices fell INR 50 to INR 7,000 per 100 kg as demand from crushers was limited at higher prices, said Mahesh Sameriya, a local trader. Arrivals in Kota were at 20,000 bags, up 2,000 bags from the previous day.
SOYBEAN prices at Ratlam were steady at INR 2,825-INR 5,850 per 100 kg, said Narendra Porwal, a local trader. Arrivals in the Ratlam market were 2,500 bags (1 bag = 40 kg), the same as the previous day. In Kota, soybeans prices fell INR 100 to INR 5,600 per 100 kg due to limited demand at higher rates, said Sameriya. Prices had risen INR 300 on Monday, he said. Arrivals in Kota were at 10,000 bags, the same as the previous day.
GROUNDNUT prices in Ratlam were steady at INR 3,250-INR 8,100 per 100 kg. Arrivals were at 3,500 bags (1 bag = 30 kg), the same as the previous day. Groundnut prices could rise in the near term due to concerns over lower output, traders said.
