New Delhi, March 6 (Commoditiescontrol): Mentha oil prices witnessed a notable uptrend in the spot market on Wednesday, with firmness also evident in the futures market due to improved buying. Analysts attribute the strength in mentha oil prices to the combination of dwindling existing stocks and anticipated lower acreage in the ongoing sowing season.
Trade analysts highlighted that the current firmness in mentha oil prices is primarily driven by the scarcity of stocks and the expectation of reduced acreage during the ongoing sowing season. Although sowing has commenced in some regions of Uttar Pradesh, reports indicate a sluggish pace.
