Mustardseed prices fell by Rs 24 to Rs 3,570 per quintal in futures trading today owing to profit-booking by traders at prevailing higher levels.

Marketmen said profit-taking by traders at existing higher levels mainly brought down the trading sentiments.

Increased supply and reduced offtake by oil mills and vanasapati units in physical markets also put weight on prices, they said.
