About 85,000-90,000 bags of castorseed arrived in Gujarat and traded for ₹750-760 for 20 kg. Around 8,900-9,000 bags arrived in Saurashtra and price was quoted at ₹730-740. According to traders, this year crop size is expected lower and as a result demand from stockists is strong. Spot castor may improve more in coming days as arrivals move down gradually.
