NEW DELHI – Prices of mustard fell in the benchmark market of Jaipur due to weak demand from domestic oil millers and crushers, while prices of soybean remained flat in Indore today.

 

* Prices of MUSTARD were at 6,825-6,850 rupees per 100 kg, down 50 rupees from Wednesday. Arrivals were pegged steady at 220,000 bags (1 bag = 84 kg). 

 

* Even with India estimating record high mustard seed production in 2021-22 (Jul-Jun), farmers are not bringing their produce to the market in large quantities as they are waiting for prices to rise further, a trader with Manishankar Oils said.

 

* SOYBEAN prices remained steady at 5,700-6,000 rupees per 100 kg today, and arrivals were unchanged at 1,500 bags, an Indore-based trader N.K. Aggarwal said.

 

* Farmers are likely to bring more produce to the market when prices move upwards. However, it depends on weather conditions, he said.

 

* Soybean prices are likely to trade within today's range for the rest of the week, Aggarwal said.
