Select edible oil prices rose by Rs 20 per quintal on the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today on sustained buying by vanaspati millers, amid a firming global trend.
Trading sentiments remained firm after palm oil advanced in global markets, tracking an advance in soybeans, after a US government report showed the nation's farmers will cut planting of the oilseed used to make a substitute cooking oil.
Meanwhile, palm oil futures for the June contract rose 1.7% to $1,118 a tonne in Kuala Lumpur.
