NEW DELHI. Although sowing for the summer crop started off slowly in Gujarat, first estimates are now available. Traders have a clear idea in which direction sesame seed prices are headed.

Market players also report that this situation has prompted 70% of the hulling factories to close for now. Even the fact that stocks have drastically declined in the local markets has failed to prevent prices from tumbling.
