MUMBAI, 2 August (Commodities control) Major pulses market ended on a positive note last week and further optimistic tone is expected this week on ensuing festive demand. Besides, area under pulses sowing is still lagging behind. However, rise in supply of some imported pulses may limit the upside movement in their prices, as per the market analysts.
With rise in the prices of vegetables in the rainy season, the consumption demand for pulses are likely to remain firm in the coming season. Besides, festive season also begins this month, when demand for pulses and besan will increase, said the market analysts.
Prices of Tur, Urad, Chana and Kabuli Chana gained last week on improved mills’ buying. But, Masoor prices slipped after the government reduced duty on its import which will boost supplies from overseas. However, Moong and White Pea prices remained almost flat amid limited trade volume.
Despite upward movement in the prices of major pulses, the pulses markets witnessed some pressure after an online meeting of importers, millers and wholesalers with the Secretary, Department of Consumer Affairs on Friday who once again asked them to declare their stock details on the portals.
