A Rajkot-based miller said, “Currently, groundnut oil is sustaining on retail demand. Moreover enough raw material is available, so price will remain at this level.”
Momemtary rise
Cotton seed oil has increased slowly, as raw cotton supply is low. But market men said it was a momentary rise. Price may reduce as demand is nominal for cotton seed oil.
