Mustard, sesame oils slide on sluggish demand

Prices of mustard and sesame oils fell up to Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today owing to slackened demand against sufficient supplies.
In the non-edible section, castor oil also eased on reduced industrial offtake.
Traders said subdued demand from retailers against adequate stocks position mainly kept pressure on mustard and sesame oil prices.
