Coconut oil prices fell by Rs 50 per tin at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today owing to slackened demand against adequate stocks.
However, other edible and non-edible oils moved in a tight range in limited deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said sluggish demand along with lower advices from producing belts mainly kept pressure on coconut oil prices.
In the national capital, coconut oil declined by Rs 50 to Rs 2,250-2,275 per tin.
