Mumbai, 27 Jun (Commoditiescontrol): Prices of major pulses including Tur-Urad advanced at Delhi Markets, helped by improved buying by the mills, following firm cues from domestic markets.
Moreover, prices also received support due to less ready stock, and lower imports due to price disparity.
Fears of decline in pulses cultivation across the country is playing out positively on prices.
Apart from loss in acreage due to delayed monsoon another reason is the shift in acreage to other crops such as cotton and soybean due to better returns.
Also, a slow down in domestic arrivals are witnessed as farmers busy for kharif sowing. Though the monsoon has recovered in the last few days still recovery is not sufficient to make up losses.
M.P Masoor firmed by Rs 25/100Kg due to mills buying on immediate requirement for crushing. While, Canada Masoor ruled unchanged on thin trade from mills as millers purchase domestic masoor at discounted prices. Imports of Masoor is likely to increase in the coming days as the landed cost of Canada Masoor has declined to Rs 6,950.
Andhra Pradesh Urad prices traded Rs 200 higher at Rs 8,000/100kg in Delhi markets on improved mill buying. Burma origin Lemon variety Tur crop 2022 priced Rs 100 higher at Rs 6,700/100kg in ready delivery.
