Palmolein and crude palm oil prices fell by Rs 20 per quintal in the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today on reduced offtake at existing higher levels amid weak trend in overseas markets.
However, non-edible oils remained steady in restricted buying activity.
Traders said fall in demand at prevailing levels and lower trend in Malaysia mainly led to a fall in wholesale palmolein and crude palm oil prices.
Meanwhile, palm oil futures for December-delivery lost 2.1 per cent to $928 a metric tonne on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange, the biggest intra-day drop since October 4.
In the national capital, palmolein (rbd) and crude palm oil (ex-kandla) declined by Rs 20 each to Rs 5,130 and Rs 4,300 per quintal.
