Castorseed prices fell by Rs 64 to Rs 3,782 per quintal in future trade today on the back of fresh selling by traders in line with weak physical markets sentiment.

Marketmen said besides profit booking after yesterday's rise, fall in demand and increased arrivals in spot markets mainly led the fall here in future price of castorseed.

Low demand from consuming industries such as paint and lubricant makers against weak export demand mainly pulled down the prices.
