New Delhi, Feb 2 (PTI) Edible oil extended gains on the oils and oilseeds market for yet another week on sustained buying by vanaspati millers and retailers to meet the ongoing marriage season demand amid a firming global trend.

A few oils in the non-edible section also strengthened on increased offtake by industrial units and other consuming industries.

Traders said sustained buying by vanaspati millers and retailers to meet the rising weddinge season demand mainly helped edible oil prices to extend gains.
They said firming global trend where palm oil rallied to the highest level in over three months on speculation that Malaysian stockpiles will drop from a record, also boosted the sentiment.
Meanwhile, palm oil climbed 4.9 per cent in January, the biggest monthly advance since March on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange.

Increased offtake by industrial units helped select non-edible oils to trade higher.
