Castor seed prices fell by Rs 18 to Rs 5,990 per quintal in futures trade Tuesday as traders trimmed positions in line with a weak trend at the physical markets.
Marketmen said taking negative cues from the spot markets on persistent supplies from growing belts mainly exerted pressure on castor seed futures here.
