MUMBAI - Prices of tur may rise in the near term due to strong demand from millers as they purchase to fulfil Delhi deliveries by the end of the month, the India Pulses and Grains Association said in its weekly report on Monday. Millers and private players have limited stocks, which could support prices, the association said.
The fall in arrivals of the kharif crop could also lend support to prices, it said. The government is unlikely to offload any stocks from its kitty into the market as current prices are already low, the association said.
The sowing of kharif tur for the upcoming crop year (Jul-Jun) started out weak, the association said. As of Jun. 13, the acreage under tur, the largest kharif pulses crop, was down nearly 27% at 30,000 hectares, according to data from the agriculture ministry. Though sowing is likely to pick up in July, farmers may shift to other crops such as cotton and maize for better returns, the association said.
Prices of domestic tur rose in the week ended Saturday tracking prices of imported tur, the association said. Prices of tur from Myanmar rose due to tight supplies and a rise in prices in that country, it said. Prices of African-origin tur also remained firm due to limited supply and steady demand, it said.
In the week ended Saturday, tur prices in Kalaburagi, Karnataka, rose by INR 313 from the previous week to INR 6,000–INR 6,813 per 100 kg. Prices of tur imported from Myanmar rose by INR 250 from the previous week to INR 6,375-INR 6,400 per 100 kg, according to the association. End
