Prices of palmolein and soyabean oil prices declined by Rs 50 per quintal at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today following muted demand coupled with a weak trend overseas.
Castor oil in the non-edible section, also slipped on reduced offtake by consuming industries.
Marketmen said besides fading demand from vanaspati millers and retailers, a weak trend overseas mainly led to decline in palmolein and soyabean oil prices.
