MUMBAI (Commodities control) – Tur, Moong, Chana and Urad remained firm for the week ended 6th June, While, imported Masoor slipped due to reduced import duty. On the other hand, domestic Masoor moved higher on Mills’ buying.
As per market experts, cautious trade in both raw/processed pulses was witnessed, wherein, purchase happened only as per requirement. Change in government policies, sufficient availability, crop arrivals, upcoming monsoon and liquidity crunch were the prime reasons behind it.
However trade volume is likely to improve in coming days, as state government won’t be able to tax farm trade anymore. Amendment in Essential Commodities Act frees the Processors and value chain participants of any stock limit. Major Pulses were trading below MSP. Bulk buyers and stockiest may soon become active in the pulses industry.
Week Highlights
# State governments can’t tax farm trade under the new central law for inter-state trade that virtually allows farmers to sell their produce anywhere in the country without being impeded by the APMC mandis, according to the Ordinance issued on Friday.

# The southwest monsoon hit Kerala, marking the commencement of the four-month long rainfall season - IMD.

Burma Lemon Tur:
Desi tur in Akola market gained for second straight week by Rs 75 to Rs 5,525-5,550/100Kg due to better mills’ buying. Meanwhile the seasonal arrivals have been below expectation due to fewer yields.
Similarly, Tur Lemon variety of Burma-origin moved higher by Rs 150 to Rs 5,050/100Kg for 2018 crop year and Rs 5,100 for 2019 crop year in Mumbai.
However, price won’t sustain at higher rates as demand and sale counter in Tur dal reported slow activity.
Demand for Tur dal in open market is reducing and impacting prices, due to ongoing availability through Public distribution system (PDS) by government.
Sentiment came under pressure after government allowed the import of 200,000 tn of Tur in the current financial year from Mozambique.
The government has also allowed import quota of 4 lakh tonnes of Tur, in the fiscal year 2020-21, only by millers and refiners.
NAFED Procured 515312.13 MT (PSS)/ 125337.98 MT (PSF) Tur In Kharif-2019 Season, so Far, at MSP of Rs 5,800.
In near term, Tur prices are likely to trade range bound due to matching demand and supply.
Tur prices are likely to get support at lower rates due to lesser carryover stock. The millers/traders have been trading hand-to-mouth due to liquidity crunch and Government policy. Further price direction will depend on monsoon.

Burma Urad:
Burma Urad FAQ new variety traded unchanged at Rs 5,950/100Kg, in Mumbai, due to limited millers activity.
On the other hand, Burma Urad SQ variety gained by Rs 350 to Rs 6,750/100Kg in Chennai on low level buying by millers. While FAQ variety ruled firm by Rs 50 to Rs 5,850.
Meanwhile, sellers were active at higher rates in ready business. Mills are cautious with their trades at prevailing rates; purchasing for immediate crushing requirements only. Regular overseas supplies at Chennai port and Rabi/Summer crop arrivals pressurised buyer sentiments.
Moreover in Chennai, sellers were active in forward trade at lower rates compared to ready prices.
Supreme Court Hearing on the pulses import case to take place on 17th June.
Demand and sale counters in Urad dal reported thin participation amid cash crunch.
Government shortened the deadline for Urad Import Annual Quota Of 4 lakh MT by 6 months to 31st August, 2020.
As per Burma-based trader, Indian buyers were sidelined and interested to purchase at lower rates for July shipment. Earlier, buyers purchased some quantity of Urad and are holding stock in Burma against deadline for Urad Import Annual Quota Of 4 lakh MT to 31st August, 2020. Stock of Urad was around 3 lakh tonnes.
Traders are of the opinion that Urad prices may get support at lower rates, but unlikely to sustain at higher prices, due to regular overseas supply and ongoing domestic arrivals.

Chana Kantewala (Indore):
Chana prices traded higher by Rs 25 in a narrow range at Rs 4,150-4,175/100Kg in Indore. This was due to mill buying, to meet immediate crushing requirements, as some activity on demand and sale counter in Chana dal/besan was witnessed. Spot chana was seen tracking fluctuations in Chana futures.
Increased Pace of Chana procurement by government agency at MSP is supporting the prices at lower rates.
According to market sources, arrivals in domestic markets are below expectations, as farmers prefer to sell to government agency at MSP, instead of selling in open markets at lower rates. This is the reason why millers aren't getting enough supplies of raw Chana for crushing.
NAFED's stock liquidation at selected states and stock holding will continue to pressurize buyer sentiments at higher level.
As on June 4, 2020, NAFED has procured 12, 50,455.17 MT of Chana at MSP of Rs 4,875.

Imported Masoor (Mumbai):
Canada crimson variety and Australia origin Masoor fell by Rs 100 to Rs 5,500-5,600 and Rs 5,700/100Kg, respectively at Mumbai, amid slack millers' buying, unattractive crushing margins.
Sentiments in imported Masoor were dampened after import duty was reduced from 30% to 10% with immediate effect, until 31st August 2020.
There’s the upcoming supply of imported Masoor at Hazira and Kolkata port which additionally weigh on prices.
Meanwhile, demand and sale counter in processed Masoor reported slowness.
On the other hand, domestic Masoor traded higher by Rs 50-100/100Kg in major markets of Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, due to improved buying from local/outstation traders/millers at prevailing rates and below-expectation ongoing arrivals.
As on June 4, 2020, NAFED has procured 1338.88 MT of Masoor at MSP of Rs 4,800.
As per market view, Masoor prices are likely to garner support from limited stock of ready imported Masoor, higher import parity, below expectation arrivals of rabi masoor crop and lesser acreage.

Imported White Pea (Mumbai):

No quotes of imported White pea were available in Mumbai/Kolkata
for over two months, due to lockdown and negligible stock.
Supreme Court Hearing on the pulses import case to take place on 17th June.
Customs clearance of White Pea, in containers, at Mumbai and Chennai is pending. If the decision comes in favour of importers, prices may slip in the short term.

Moong (Jaipur):
Moong prices remained firm at Rs 7,200-7,300/100Kg in Jaipur market of Rajasthan, as per quality, on lower level mill buying.
Similarly, summer crop Moong gained by Rs 400-500/100Kg in producing centers amid mills’ buying at lower rates for immediate crushing requirement.
Millers/traders from Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat and Maharashtra were active in purchasing Moong from producing centers.
Arrival pressure is likely to slow down as farmers are busy preparing their Fields for Kharif cultivation.
Locust attack hit the summer moong crop in the several districts of Rajasthan, MP and UP.
Madhya Pradesh is expecting output of 5.76 lakh tonnes of moong, of which 25% will be procured by the Government agencies, i.e, 1.44lk tonnes of moong.
Stockiest are sidelined at current prices, despite lower stocks with government agencies and private traders/millers.
Arrival pressure of summer crop in Bihar/Jharkhand/Uttar Pradesh will keep a lid on prices.
As per market talk, moong prices are likely to get support at lower rates due to lesser availability with government agency and private traders. Millers prefer parity in crushing at lower rates.
As on June 4, 2020, NAFED has procured 1153.05 MT of Moong at MSP of Rs 7,050.
