NEW DELHI – Prices of mustard in the benchmark market of Rajasthan's Jaipur, and those of soybean in Indore were lower today, traders said.

* In Jaipur, MUSTARD was sold at 7,475 rupees per 100 kg, down 75 rupees from Saturday. Arrivals were pegged at 550,000 bags (1 bag = 84 kg) compared with 525,000 bags the previous day.

* Robust demand for mustard from international stockists, driven primarily by supply concerns regarding sunflower oil from the Russia-Ukraine corridor, is likely to lend support to prices of the oilseed in the near term, said a trader with Manishankar Oils. 

* Even with India pegging record mustard seed production in 2021-22, farmers are refraining from bringing their produce to the market in large quantities, as they are waiting for the prices to rise further, the trader added.

* SOYBEAN arrivals in Indore, the benchmark market in Madhya Pradesh, were pegged at 500 bags (1 bag = 100 kg), unchanged from Saturday, said local trader N.K. Aggarwal. The oilseed was sold at 7,000-7,200 rupees per 100 kg, down 500 rupees from the previous day.

* Farmers are bringing lesser produce to the market due to low availability of stock, as the end of the season approaches for soybean, he said. End
