Rise in demand lifts mustard seed prices in Jaipur.

Mustard seed is quotes higher in Jaipur due to a rise in demand from oil millers and crushers, after prices hit an over two-year low. Arrivals across the country are estimated at 260,000 bags (1bag=85kg) compared with 300,000 bags on previous close. Lower arrivals coupled with a pick-up in demand from stockists further supported prices. Arrivals have declined because farmers are not ready to sell their produce at lower rates.
