MUMBAI – Oilseed prices were steady in the key markets of the country as demand was need-based after prices increased significantly the previous day due to firm demand amid falling arrivals, traders said. Prices are likely to be range-bound for some time, they said.
MUSTARD seed prices in Jaipur, Rajasthan, were steady at INR 7,975-INR 8,000 per 100 kg as demand was need-based at higher prices and also as arrivals were slightly higher, traders at the Marudhar Trading Agency said. Arrivals across the country were at 525,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), up from 500,000 bags the previous day.
In Kota, mustard seed prices were steady at INR 7,450 per 100 kg, after rising by a whopping INR 1,100 the previous day, said Mahesh Sameriya, a local trader. Prices rose the previous day as arrivals fell significantly amid oil mills actively purchasing domestic oilseeds, he said. Mustard seed arrivals in Kota were at 15,000 bags, up 1,000 bags from the previous day.
SOYBEAN prices in Ratlam were steady at INR 3,325-INR 7,550 per 100 kg as demand was limited, said Narendra Porwal, a local trader. Arrivals were at 3,300 bags (1 bag = 40 kg), the same as the previous day, he said.
