MUMBAI – Prices of mustard seed rose in Jaipur and Kota and prices of soybean rose in Ratlam on firm demand for domestic oilseeds, traders said. Groundnut prices also rose in key markets, they said.

 

MUSTARD seed prices in Jaipur, Rajasthan, rose INR 200 to INR 7,400-INR 7,425 per 100 kilograms as demand from millers was firm, traders at the Marudhar Trading Agency said. Arrivals across the country were at 1.0 million bags (1 bag = 50 kg), down from 1.1 million bags the previous day, they said.

 

In Kota, Rajasthan, mustard seed prices rose by INR 25 to INR 6,975 per 100 kg as there was good demand for seeds with higher oil content, Mahesh Sameriya, a local trader, said. Prices were steady as demand was limited at higher rates, he said. Moreover, there is good demand for domestic oilseeds as the import of edible oil has become costly, traders said.

 

SOYBEAN prices in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, rose INR 400-INR 500 to INR 3,325-INR 6,650 per 100 kg on firm demand from millers for domestic oilseeds, said Narendra Porwal, a local trader.
