MUMBAI – Prces of moti variety of MASUR were steady in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, at INR 6,400 per 100 kg, Wednesday according to the India Pulses and Grains Association. While demand for masur is low, it is on a par with the arrivals, keeping prices steady, traders said.
The spot market is getting less arrivals as most of the rabi crop is being sold to the government. The government is offering the minimum support price of INR 6,700 per 100 kg for the legume, which is much more attractive to farmers than the market rates.
Meanwhile, prices of TUR and CHANA were unavailable as most key markets were shut across the country on account of Akshaya Tritiya, traders said.
The Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare has so far been able to procure only 670,000 tonnes of pulses in the kharif marketing season 2024-25 (Oct-Sept), 13% of the total quantity of 5.08 million tonnes approved for procurement. The biggest lag has been seen in chana procurement, as prices of the commodity continue to remain above the minimum support price of INR 5,650 per 100 kg. End
