Mustard seed up in Jaipur as arrivals fall sharply

Prices of mustard seed rose in Jaipur, Rajasthan, due to a sharp fall in arrivals amid renewed demand from domestic stockists after a recent fall in prices. In benchmark market Jaipur, prices rose by 10-15 rupees to 4,090-4,100 rupees per 100 kg. Arrivals of mustard seed in Jaipur were estimated at 75,000 bags (1 bag = 85 kg), down 25,000 bags. Expectation of a rise in demand of mustard oil in the monsoon season also supported prices of mustard seed. However, tepid demand for mustard meal from overseas buyers capped the rise in prices.
