MUMBAI – Prices of wheat in Kota, Rajasthan, fell Friday due to high arrivals, traders said. Prices of rice and maize were steady in key spot markets due to lack of fresh cues, traders said. Prices of maize are likely to remain steady in some markets in the near term, while they could fall in others due to high arrivals, they said. 

 

Prices of WHEAT in Kota fell by INR 10 to INR 2,480 per 100 kilograms on high arrivals. Arrivals in the market rose by 4,000 bags to 12,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), local trader Aniket Mehta said.

 

Prices of wheat in Vashi, Navi Mumbai, remained unchanged at INR 2,800-INR 2,825 per 100 kg, Devendra Vora, a wholesale trader said. Wheat prices will remain steady till the end of the year as demand is on a par with supply, he said. The price of wheat in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, was also steady at INR 2,775 per 100 kg, Gaurav Kochar, a local trader said. "Prices are likely to rise by INR 50 per 100 kg if the demand rises and fall by INR 100 per kg if the demand falls," he said. 

 

Prices of major varieties of RICE remained steady in key markets due to lack of fresh cues. Prices of basmati rice varieties 1401 and 1121 remained unchanged at INR 7,500-INR 7,600 per 100 kg and INR 8,000-INR 8,300 per 100 kg, respectively, at the Vashi market, Vora said. The price of sona masoori rice, a premium non-basmati rice, remained stable at INR 5,000 per 100 kg at Bhavanipuram in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, said local trader Ravi Shankar. 

 

Prices are currently steady because demand is low and traders have sufficient stock, Shankar said. However, prices could rise in the near term due to reports of crop damage in Andhra Pradesh, he said. Paddy is the largest kharif crop cultivated in the state. 

 

The price of MAIZE in Indore fell INR 30 per 100 kg to INR 1,780 per 100 kg owing to higher arrivals and low demand, Kochar said. Prices of maize in Davanagere, Karnataka, remained steady at INR 1,600–INR 1,900 per 100 kg, said local trader Shiva Kumar. Arrivals in Karnataka were steady and ranged between 7,000 and 8,000 bags (1 bag = 60 kg). Prices are expected to remain steady till the end of December, Kumar said.  End
