Select edible oil prices declined up to Rs 20 per quintal on the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today due to slackness in demand at prevailing levels amid weakening global trend.
However, non-edible oils moved in a narrow range on alternate bouts of trading and settled around previous levels.
Traders said subdued demand at prevailing higher levels and reports of weakening trend in global markets, were major factors behind a fall in select edible oil prices.
