Select edible oil prices led by seasame oil, fell up to Rs 300 per quintal in the oils and oilseeds market today on emergence of selling by stockists at existing higher levels.
Fall in retailers demand and lower trend in producing regions also dampened the trading sentiment.
Marketmen said fresh selling by stockists due to fall in demand mainly pulled down select wholesale edible oil prices.
Meanwhile, November-delivery palm oil rose 2.2 per cent to 2,349 ringgit (665 dollar) a metric tonne in the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange.
