For the Quarter Ending September 2023
North America

Throughout the third quarter of 2023, Mustard oil prices in North America mirrored the market trends observed in the APAC region, showcasing an optimistic pricing trajectory. The continuous growth in demand within the downstream sector, coupled with heightened interest from the regional market, maintained a positive pricing momentum throughout the quarter. The substantial decrease in inventory levels further bolstered strong purchasing sentiments. Additionally, transportation costs to the United States experienced a significant upswing, contributing to the overall positive market sentiments. While businesses anticipated future demand and acknowledged challenges in the supply chain, many opted to replenish their inventories, leading to a surge in demand and further straining the already limited supply. This heightened demand pushed prices northward until the end of September. Furthermore, a noticeable price increase in the United States was attributed to escalating raw material costs, particularly for Mustard seeds, and increased production expenses.

Asia Pacific

In the APAC region during the third quarter of 2023, Mustard Oil prices reflected an optimistic market sentiment. Various factors contributed to this surge, including a delayed monsoon, unseasonal rains, and insect attacks impacting the mustard crop in India. These conditions led to reduced manufacturing and limited availability in the market. The demand for mustard oil in India increased due to its prevalent use in religious rituals and cooking, particularly during festival seasons. Rising costs of inputs such as fertilizers and insecticides for mustard cultivation added to production expenses for farmers, resulting in higher prices for consumers. Export sales saw significant growth, fueled by robust demand from countries like China and the US. Buyers increased their purchasing activities, causing a sharp rise in demand. Manufacturers responded by increasing hiring, though overall employment growth was the slowest in four months. Simultaneously, manufacturers and suppliers focused on maintaining sufficient stock levels of Mustard Oil in anticipation of high demand during upcoming festivals. This strategic approach supported the upward market trajectory for the month. Speculators in India, the world's largest producer of Mustard Oil, anticipated a firm trend in the spot market, but limited supplies from growing regions primarily contributed to the rise in Mustard seed costs.

Europe

In the third quarter of 2023, Mustard oil prices consistently climbed in Europe, aligning with market trends in other nations, particularly the United States and the Asia Pacific region. This increase was driven by a substantial surge in regional demand and scarcity in stock, resulting in elevated global prices for Mustard oil, including in the European market. Sustained strong purchasing activity in the regional market throughout the month further contributed to the upward price trend. The global festival season, especially in exporting regions like India, typically initiates in August and extends until October, leading to heightened demand for groundnut oil due to its essential role in traditional dishes. This increased demand contributed to the ongoing price hikes. Notably, the Indian market witnessed a rise in mustard oil prices due to soaring demand in recent months. Market dynamics were influenced by a shortage in mustard oil supply, less-than-optimal crushing activities, and government intervention. Additionally, domestic supply shortages resulted from a continuous surge in inquiries, reinforcing the upward trend in mustard oil prices.
