MUMBAI – Prices of tur fell, while those of chana and masur were steady in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Prices of tur fell due to muted demand and ample availability of cheaper imports, they said. Prices of chana and masur are likely to rise in the near term due to a fall in arrivals, they said.

CHANA prices at Indore in Madhya Pradesh were steady at INR 6,000-INR 6,050 per 100 kilogram, said Raja Jain, a local trader. Though there was some demand for the legume, it was not enough to lift prices, he said. However, the prices are seen rising as the arrivals are low, he said. Currently, farmers are too busy with kharif sowing to bring their produce to markets, he said.

Prices may rise further in the medium term due to seasonal demand during the monsoon, Jain said. Demand is also expected to increase as millers need to stock for their processing pipeline, he said. However, a sharp rise is unlikely as stockists and the government may offload stocks in the market during August to October, when the demand is at its peak, he said. 

Chana prices at Jaipur in Rajasthan were steady at INR 5,775 per 100 kg, traders said.

TUR prices at Akola in Maharashtra fell by INR 50 to INR 6,925-INR 6,950 per 100 kg, said Ashok Gupta, a local trader. Arrivals in the market were steady at 2,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg). Prices fell due to muted demand and ample availability of cheaper imports, he said. Prices of domestic tur are likely to rise only if there is an upward movement in the rates of imports from Myanmar, he said.

As of Jun. 20, the sowing of kharif tur in Karnataka was at 488,800 hectares, down from 573,100 hectares sown a year ago. Tur acreage in Maharashtra rose to 251,006 hectares from 175,244 hectares a year ago. Karnataka and Maharashtra are the top tur-producing states in the country.

Prices of tur at Kalaburagi in Karnataka fell by INR 123 to INR 6,000-INR 6,916 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association. Arrivals rose by 1,164 bags to 5,434 bags (1 bag = 50 kg).

MASUR prices in Indore were steady at INR 6,200-INR 6,300 per 100 kg, said Jain. Prices were steady as demand is on par with the low supply, he said. However, arrivals are likely to drop further as farmers focus more on sowing kharif crops, supporting prices in the short term, he said. 

Prices of the choti variety of masur at Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh were steady at INR 5,800-INR 6,100 per 100 kg, according to the association. Prices of the moti variety of masur in Lalitpur were also steady at INR 6,000-INR 6,650 per 100 kg.  End
