Mustard seed prices up on seasonal demand for oil.

Prices of mustard seed rose in Jaipur due to strong demand for mustard oil in the ongoing monsoon season. In Jaipur, the benchmark market, prices of the oilseed rose 10-15 rupees to 4,210-4,225 rupees per 100 kg. Prices of mustard oil were up at 854 rupees per 10 kg, compared with 780 rupees on previous close. However, a rise in arrivals was insufficient to meet the demand from domestic stockists and oil millers, which supported prices.
