Mustard seed prices fell further by Rs 21 to Rs 4,161 per quintal in futures trade today after investors cut bets amid a weak trend in the physical market.
At the National Commodity and Derivative Exchange, mustard seed to be delivered in May contracts fell further by Rs 23, or 0.58 per cent, to Rs 3,924 per quintal with an open interest of 1,10,980 lots.
