Prices of select edible oils fell up to Rs 50 per quintal on the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today as stocksits trimmed positions amid a weak trend overseas.
In the non-edible section, linseed and neem oils weakeked by Rs 20 per quintal owing to sluggish demand from consuming industries.
Traders said besides slackened demand from millers, a weak trend in the overseas markets put pressure on select edible oil prices.
