Select edible oil prices rose up to Rs 20 per quintal on the wholesale oils and oilseeds market on Wednesday largely on firming global trend.

Market analysts said fresh buying by vanaspati millers, driven by marriage season and firming trend in overseas market mainly, where palm oil surged to 35-month high in Kuala Lumpur, led to rise in select wholesale edible oil prices.

Meanwhile, palm oil futures for April-delivery rose 2.3 per cent to 35-month high of $ 1,280 a tonne in Kuala Lumpur on concern that a La Nina weather event that caused flooding in Asia and drought in South America may persist for a further four months.

In the national capital, Mustard expeller oil (Dadri) and cottonseed mill delivery oil (Haryana) gained Rs 20 each to Rs 5,920 and Rs 5,760 per quintal.

Soyabean refined mill delivery (Indore) and soyabean degum (Kandla) edged up by Rs 10 each to Rs 6,580 and Rs 6,180. Palmolein (rbd) also moved up by Rs 10 to Rs 6,280 per quintal.
