Select edible oil prices rose by Rs 50 per quintal on the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today on fresh buying by vanaspati millers and retailers amid a firm global trend.
However, non-edible oils held steady in restricted deals.
Marketmen said fresh buying by vanaspati millers and retailers amid a firm global trend on speculation that a rally in crude oil prices to the highest level in more than two months will boost demand for the vegetable oil as feedstock for biofuels.
Meanwhile, palm oil for March delivery rose 0.7 per cent to USD 804 a metric tonne on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange.
