Mumbai, 21 May 2024 (Commoditiescontrol): After a significant surge in the previous week, Burmese Tur markets experienced a correction, with prices falling by Kyat 50,000 per metric ton (MT). Cost, insurance, and freight (CIF) prices also declined by $10 per MT, marking the third consecutive session of downward movement. This dip is attributed to demand easing to need-based levels.
Burma Tur prices reflected a weakened sentiment in major domestic markets, primarily due to inactivity among millers. Lemon prices across various centers also dropped by Rs 25-50 per quintal, mirroring the subdued demand from millers.
In contrast, African tur prices continued their upward trajectory. Sources indicate that the upcoming crop yield in African countries is projected to be 15-20% lower than usual due to ongoing drought conditions. This supply constraint is a key factor bolstering prices.

Tur prices experienced a slight dip today due to cautious buying by mills at higher levels, but the overall outlook for the near term remains strong. The end of the mango season and soaring vegetable prices due to extreme temperatures across the country are contributing to this positive bias.On ther other hand anticipating a potential shortage in supply of Tur, millers are holding back on selling their Tur stock, further bolstering prices.
While millers are reluctant to sell at current prices, buyers remain active on a need-to-need basis. This dynamic is expected to keep prices within a wider range in the coming days, but the overall trajectory is likely to be positive. Demand for high-quality Tur seeds is expected to remain robust, ensuring that premium material prices remain strong.
In conclusion, the Tur market is poised for potential price increases in the near future, driven by a combination of seasonal factors, supply concerns, and strong underlying demand.
