Mustard seed futures prices dropped by Rs 25 to Rs 4,200 per quintal in futures trading Monday on offloading of bets by participants, tracking a weak trend at the spot markets.
Marketmen said trimming of positions by participants to book profits amid low spot demand against persistent supplies from growing belts, led to the fall in mustard seed prices.
