MUMBAI – Chana prices are likely to rise this week due to steady demand from millers, the India Pulses and Grains Association said in its weekly report Monday. Consumption of besan and chana dal typically rises during the monsoon, and this is expected to support prices of chana in the near term, the association said.

Stockists are refusing to sell chana at lower prices, which could support prices as well, the association said. However, a sharp rise in prices is unlikely due to the availability of yellow pea imports, it said. The market is likely to remain cautious as it is uncertain about the volume and prices of the new yellow pea crop in Canada and Russia, it said.

Prices of chana were mixed in the week ended Saturday, the association said. A drop in arrivals and seasonal demand for good-quality produce supported prices in some markets. Prices in other markets remained low due to weak demand from millers and processors, it said.

In the week ended Saturday, prices of chana in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, fell by INR 25 from the previous week to INR 5,900-INR 5,950 per 100 kg, according to the association. On the other hand, prices in Akola, Maharashtra, rose by INR 125 from the previous week to INR 6,025-INR 6,050 per 100 kg.  End
