Castorseed prices increased on the back of strong demand and restricted supply. Castor futures too gained on speculative buying by traders. Traders said that strong demand from consuming industries at the spot market against restricted supplies, mainly led to the rise in futures trade. Besides, rising export demand and slow sowing also supported the uptrend.
