Mustard prices rise slightly as trading improves at lower prices

New Delhi: Arrivals of new mustard seeds have begun to gain momentum in major producing states. Prices had previously come under pressure, falling below ₹6,500 per quintal in most markets. Consequently, increased interest from traders and oil millers in purchasing mustard seeds, leading to a rise in the price of this important oilseed by ₹200-₹300 per quintal during the week of February 28-March 6.

42% Condition Mustard

During the week under review, the price of 42% condition mustard seeds improved by ₹50 each to ₹6,450 and ₹6,700 per quintal in Delhi and Jaipur, respectively.
