Mumbai, 20 Jan (Commoditiescontrol): Tur (pigeon pea) prices fluctuated across domestic markets on Monday, supported by steady miller buying, particularly in Maharashtra and Karnataka mandis. Increased arrivals of good-quality produce bolstered prices, with market activity picking up after a lull last week.
In the international market, Burma Lemon Tur remained stable, with Cost and Freight (CNF) India quotes unchanged at $780 per metric ton. Yangon mandi Lemon Tur held steady at 29,30,000 kyat per metric ton. However, resale prices for Burma Lemon Tur in Chennai dipped slightly, falling $5 to $775 per metric ton, slipping below CNF levels.
Domestically, Burma Lemon Tur prices rose slightly in Mumbai and Chennai, while Delhi remained steady. African-origin Tur prices continued to hold firm in Mumbai.

In the Tur dal segment, prices softened in Akola, Gulbarga, Latur, and Nagpur due to rising supplies driven by milling activity. However, demand remained limited to need-based buying. With milling operations gaining momentum in Vidarbha, Tur dal prices are expected to face additional pressure in the coming days.

The slower decline in Tur prices, despite higher arrivals, indicates improving demand. As mills resume operations and moisture levels in new crops decrease, government procurement is likely to commence, providing further price support. Seasonal factors like the ongoing Kumbh Mela and the wedding season are expected to strengthen market sentiment, limiting any significant price drops in the near term.
