MUMBAI – Prices of all pulses moved on a mixed note in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Prices of chana rose due to seasonal demand and a fall in arrivals, they said. Prices of tur fell due to availability of cheaper imports from African countries, they said. Prices of urad were steady, but are likely to fall in the near term due to low demand, they said.

CHANA prices in Akola, Maharashtra, rose by INR 25 from Monday to INR 6,150-INR 6,175 per 100 kg, said Ankit Kedia, a local trader. Prices have risen due to seasonal demand for the legume seen during monsoon, he said. The demand for chana and besan-based food items increases during the monsoon months of Jul-Sept, especially in north India, he explained.

Prices of chana also rose due to a drop in arrivals as farmers are occupied with kharif crop sowing, Kedia said. With arrivals expected to drop further and a steady demand for the legume during the monsoon, prices are likely to rise further in the medium term, he said. However, the upward trend in prices could be limited once imports of Australian chana start arriving in the country in September or October, he said.

Prices of chana in Bikaner, Rajasthan, rose by INR 75 from the previous day to INR 5,775 per 100 kg, traders said.

TUR prices in Akola fell by INR 25 from Monday to INR 6,775-INR 6,800 per 100 kg, Kedia said. The demand for domestic tur is sluggish due to the availability of cheaper imports from African countries, he said. 

Prices of tur from African countries such as Mozambique and Uganda range from INR 5,600-INR 6,250 per 100 kg. Even though millers and stockists have low stocks of the legume, they are waiting for the August shipments of African-origin tur, which are priced even cheaper than the current shipments due to a good supply of the legume in those countries, he said. 

Prices of tur in Kalaburagi, Karnataka, fell by INR 121 from the previous day to INR 6,129-INR 6,729 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association.

URAD prices in Chandausi, Uttar Pradesh, were steady at INR 7,000 per 100 kg, according to the association. Prices of urad in Jaipur, Rajasthan, were also steady at INR 6,600-INR 7,400 per 100 kg.

Urad prices are likely to stay under pressure due to weak demand and a drop in prices of Myanmar imports, the association said in its weekly report on Monday. However, the fall in prices could be limited due to low arrivals and fewer stocks with mills and traders, amid the government's procurement and ahead of the festival demand, it said.  End
