Select edible oils rise on retailers demand

Select edible oil prices rose by up to Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today due to pick up in demand from retailers.

However, linseed and castor oils in the non-edible section slipped due to reduced offtake by consuming industries.

Traders said uptick in demand from retailers against restricted arrivals from producing belts led to the rise in select edible oil prices.

In the national capital, sesame and cottonseed mill delivery (Haryana) oils rose by Rs 100 each to Rs 9,200 and Rs 7,100 per quintal, respectively.

Mustard expeller (Dadri) oil also edged up by Rs 50 to Rs 7,700 per quintal.

On the other hand, castor and linseed oils fell by Rs 100 each to Rs 7,100-7,200 and Rs 8,800 per quintal, respectively.
