“Price of groundnut oil is decreasing since last one week and it may decline further as demand is very weak. Most of people have now shifted to other edible oils such as cotton seed oil, palm oil and soya oil as these edible oils are cheaper than groundnut oil,” said a source from Gondal Oil Mills Association.
