The wholesale oils and oilseeds market ended the week on a mild note as select edible oil prices declined due to subdued demand at prevailing levels against adequate stocks position.
In the non-edible section, a few oils eased on reduced offtake by consuming industries.
Traders said sluggish demand from retailers against adequate stocks position on higher supplies from producing belts mainly led to the fall in select edible oil prices.
