MUMBAI – Prices of tur may remain low or find support at lower levels in the near term as millers buy only as needed, the India Pulses and Grains Association said in its weekly report on Monday.
Prices could remain steady in the lower range amid a drop in arrivals and availability of imports, the association said. With a temporary pause in the southwest monsoon, domestic arrivals may slow down as farmers focus on sowing tur, it said.
Importers are still taking deliveries of tur shipments made during May due to firm demand for the cheaper imported legume and tight supply, the association said. However, shipments could fall after Sunday as no direct vessel shipment trade deals have been made for June. The only deals made for June are for shipments via indirect vessels, which will be delivered in July, the association said.
Prices of domestic tur fell in the week ended Saturday due to weak demand from millers, a slight rise in arrivals, and low sales of processed tur or tur dal due to the availability of cheaper options such as yellow peas, the association said. In the week ended Saturday, tur prices in Kalaburagi, Karnataka, dropped by INR 123 from the previous week to INR 6,000–INR 6,916 per 100 kg.
On the other hand, prices of imported tur rose in the week ended Saturday due to higher tender enquiries and limited stocks, the association said. Prices of imported tur also rose due to constrained supply from Myanmar amid a gap between bids from Indian buyers and selling offers from Myanmar exporters, it said. Prices of tur imported from Myanmar rose by INR 100 from the previous week to INR 6,350-INR 6,400 per 100 kg, according to the association. End
