MUMBAI – Prices of non-basmati sona-masoori rice rose on the back of firm demand in Bhavanipuram in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, traders said. Prices of sona-masoori are expected to rise further, they added. Prices of maize rose in Karnataka due to demand from ethanol plantations, while prices of wheat remained unchanged in key spot markets across the country, they said.
The price of sona masoori RICE, a premium non-basmati variety, rose by INR 200 per 100 kilograms to INR 5,600-INR 5,800 per 100 kg, due to firm demand in the Andhra Pradesh market, said Ravi Shankar, a local trader. "Prices keep fluctuating by INR 200 per 100 kg as and when the demand rises," he said. "Prices can also reach to INR 6,000 per 100 kg if the demand rises further."
In Vashi, prices of basmati 1401 and 1121 varieties remained stable at INR 7,100-INR 7,300 per 100 kg and at INR 8,400-INR 8,800 per 100 kg, respectively, according to Vora.
