MUMBAI – Prices of chana and tur rose Tuesday, while those of moong showed a mixed trend in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Chana prices rose due to a fall in arrivals of the old domestic stocks, they said. Tur prices rose due to lower arrivals of the new kharif crop from both Karnataka and Maharashtra, they said. Prices of moong rose in some markets amid a decline in arrivals, they said.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, rose INR 50 from Friday to INR 5,950-INR 6,000 per 100 kg, said Kailash Kakani, a local trader. Prices were unavailable on Monday as markets were shut for Republic Day. Prices rose Tuesday due to a decline in arrivals of the domestic stock, he said. Stocks of the older crop of chana have reduced significantly, Kakani said. "Yes, prices are rising despite ongoing imports, which are cheaper (than domestic chana). But not everyone goes to the ports to buy it and not everyone can afford the transportation charges to bring it to their mills or godowns... they still prefer local chana," he said.

 

However, the steady shipments of chana from Australia are likely to limit a steep rise in prices, Kakani said. With no festivals in February, there will be "no exciting rise in demand" for chana in the near term, further preventing a surge in prices, he said.

 

Prices of chana in Delhi rose INR 25 from Friday to INR 5,900-INR 5,925 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

Prices of new TUR in Solapur, Maharashtra, rose INR 200 from Friday to INR 6,700-INR 8,400 per 100 kg, while prices of old tur also rose by INR 200 from last week to INR 6,200-INR 7,600 per 100 kg, said Mukesh Sanklecha, a local trader. About 75–80 trucks with 20,000-25,000 kg of new tur, and only four to five trucks with old tur stock arrived in the market, he said.

 

Prices continued to rise from last week due to low arrivals of the new crop, Sanklecha said. Arrivals of the kharif crop from Karnataka were lower to begin with as some of the crop was damaged due to extended rainfall in September and October. "Now there are even lower arrivals from Karnataka as most farmers there are choosing to sell it to the state government," he said. The Karnataka government is procuring the legume at the minimum support price of INR 8,000 per 100 kg, he said. 

 

Prices are likely to rise further as tur output in Maharashtra is also expected to fall 15–20% this year, Sanklecha said. Maharashtra and Karnataka are the top producers of tur in the country.

 

Prices of tur in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, rose INR 100 from the previous week to INR 8,200-INR 8,300 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association.

 

MOONG prices in Jaipur, Rajasthan, rose INR 100 from Friday to INR 6,700-INR 7,000 per 100 kg, according to the association. Prices of moong in Gulbarga, Karnataka, were steady at INR 5,000-INR 8,000 per 100 kg. Prices rose in some markets due to a drop in arrivals of the crop, Sanklecha said. Kharif stocks of the crop have long been exhausted, while the rabi stocks of moong are declining as well, he said. Prices are likely to rise further in the near term, he said.  End
