The groundnut market continues to maintain a steady-to-firm trend, supported by limited arrivals and controlled selling by farmers. With no significant supply pressure, market sentiment remains positive. At the same time, firm edible oil prices are providing additional support to groundnut oil, raising expectations that premium-quality groundnut could continue to fetch better prices if demand remains strong and government stock releases stay under control. The groundnut oil market is also showing strength. Loose groundnut oil in Rajkot is trading around ₹1,700 per 10 kg, while prices in key markets such as Mumbai and Chennai remain firm. Even lower-grade oil has witnessed some improvement in recent days, reflecting healthy demand across the edible oil sector. In the seed market, prices are largely stable with no major signs of either a sharp rally or a significant decline. Slow government stock sales have eased supply concerns, although around 500,000 tonnes of government-held stocks are still available. As a result, future price movement will largely depend on the pace of these releases. Gradual sales are unlikely to put significant pressure on the market, whereas large-scale releases could trigger short-term weakness. Demand for premium-quality groundnut remains healthy in major markets, particularly Rajkot, supported by processors and exporters. Market analysts continue to maintain a Steady to Firm outlook, backed by limited arrivals, strong edible oil prices, and controlled farmer selling. For now, farmers may benefit from selling in phases rather than rushing their produce into the market, while keeping a close watch on government stock sales and demand trends.
