Mustard

Futures contracts of most constituents of the edible oil basket, barring degummed soyoil, rose on the domestic commodity exchanges. Futures of mustard rose over 1% on the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange noting gains in the spot markets. Prices of mustard rose in the key market of Jaipur as the supply was not sufficient to meet the demand from domestic oil millers and crushers.

Supplies have declined because farmers are holding on to their produce, as they expect prices to rise in the coming days.

Australia 2017-2018 canola output is seen at 3.12 million tonne, down 26% on year, due to seed shortages and inadequate rains. Patchy and light rains so far and forecast of insignificant rains over the next few weeks has dented outlook for canola harvest.
