MUMBAI – Prices of maize and wheat fell in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, Monday due to weak demand and high arrivals while prices for both grains remained steady in other key markets across the country, traders said. Prices of basmati rice in Vashi, Navi Mumbai, rose on firm demand and a fall in arrivals, traders said. Prices of wheat are expected to decline further as the government has begun open market sales of the grain, they added.

Prices of MAIZE in Indore fell by INR 25 per 100 kilograms to INR 1,790 per 100 kg, local trader Gaurav Kochar said. The fall in the prices is due to high arrivals and low demand, he said. Prices of maize at Davanagere in Karnataka remained steady at INR 1,600–INR 1,940 per 100 kg, said local trader Shiva Kumar. Arrivals in Karnataka rose to 10,000 bags (1 bag = 60 kg) from 5,600 bags Friday. Arrivals usually rise after weekends, he said. 

Prices of WHEAT in Indore fell by INR 5 per 100 kg to INR 2,765 per 100 kg, Kochar said. The fall in prices was due to high arrivals and low demand, he said. Prices of wheat in Vashi, held steady at INR 2,800-INR 2,825 per 100 kg due on lack of fresh cues, wholesale trader Devendra Vora said.  

In Kota, Rajasthan, wheat prices were largely steady at INR 2,500 per 100 kg, local trader Aniket Mehta said. Arrivals in Kota were largely steady after the weekend at 6,000–7,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg). Arrivals were steady as "farmers are busy bringing other crops to the market," he said. Mehta expects prices to fall by INR 50-INR 100 per 100 kg in the near term as the government commenced the open-market sales of wheat last week.

Prices of 1121 basmati RICE in Vashi rose by INR 100 per 100 kg to INR 8,300-INR 8,400 per 100 kg, driven by firm demand, Vora said. Prices also rose as "the arrival pressure has been reduced," he said. Prices of 1401 basmati rice were steady at INR 7,500–INR 7,600 per 100 kg.

The price of sona masoori rice, a premium non-basmati rice, remained stable at INR 5,200-INR 5,300 per 100 kg at Bhavanipuram in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, local trader Ravi Shankar said.  End
