Key Takeaway
- Factors affecting GN Exp. Cake (Guj.) 50/2.5 prices: Prices are mainly influenced by groundnut production, availability of raw groundnut, crushing volumes, mandi arrivals, and groundnut cake inventory levels in Gujarat. Since extraction cake is a by-product of groundnut oil production, groundnut oil prices and crushing margins directly influence the economics and availability of the cake. Demand from poultry, dairy, livestock and aquaculture feed manufacturers, along with feed formulation requirements and protein demand, is a key price driver.
- Competing protein meals such as soybean meal, rapeseed/mustard meal, cottonseed meal and other oilseed cakes also influence its relative attractiveness and pricing. Export demand, particularly from feed markets, along with international oilseed meal prices, currency movements and freight costs, can affect prices. Additionally, protein and oil content, moisture, aflatoxin levels, quality specifications, government regulations, seasonal availability, stockist activity and regional feed demand contribute to price movements.
