Burma Urad
Prices of Burma Urad FAQ variety moved higher by Rs 300 at Rs 7,150/100Kg in Mumbai due to firm mills buying support and fear of damage in new Kharif crop and higher moisture content in crop due to rains during the harvesting period.
Already, Urad sowing was lagging behind, and also crop got damaged in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan due to less rain during the early-stage sowing period.
However gains Urad are likely to be limited as there is slow off-take in Urad dal and increase in supply due arrivals of new Kharif crop and imports from overseas. Further fear government intervention will deter market participants to take any big exposure.
Burma Urad FAQ-SQ varieties in Chennai also gained by Rs 300-400 to Rs 6,900-6,925/100Kg and Rs 8,000, respectively.
New Kharif Urad traded in the range of Rs 6,800-7,300/100Kg as per quality. Maharashtra origin new Urad traded firm at Rs 7,500-7,700/100Kg at Guntur market.
Urad FAQ-SQ varieties traded higher this week at $920 and $1065 per ton on CNF basis at Burma amid good buying from India at lower rates.

Chana Kantewala (Indore)
Chana prices remained steady to firm Rs 5,600/100Kg for the week on mill buying activity at lower rates on immediate requirement for crushing.
Moreover, good demand was witnessed in besan. But, demand in Chana dal was limited.
Meanwhile, Nafed is actively liquidating its stocks of Chana at various centers. FCI is also active in selling stock procured in Maharashtra.
Nafed sold procured Chana Rabi-2019 at Rs 5,102/100Kg in Madhya Pradesh on 3rd Sep 2021. In Maharashtra, Rabi-2018 sold at Rs 5,101-5,151. In Rajasthan, Rabi-2020 at Rs 5,207-5,255.
In international origins, Tanzania Chana prices gained Rs 50 to Rs 5,250/100Kg in Mumbai on-demand from mills. New Tanzania Chana traded up Rs 50 at Rs 5,450 in ready delivery.
In forward business, Tanzania was quoted at Rs 5,500/100Kg for September shipment and Rs 5,625/100Kg for October shipment.
Tanzania origin Chana offered at $740 per ton in container on Cfr basis Nhava sheva port for September-15 October shipment.
Similarly, Russia and Sudan Kabuli Chickpea priced higher each by Rs 50-150 at Rs 5,300/100Kg and Rs 5,700-6,100 on mills purchase despite fresh supplies of new crop from Sudan. Fresh imports of Russian origin are not competitive as it attracts import duty of 40%
Indore Kabuli Chana 42-44 & 44-46 count slipped by Rs 100 each at Rs 102,50/100Kg and Rs 101,00, respectively.
The production estimates of Canada chickpea for the year 2021 have revised lower to 63 thousand tonnes as compared to 214 thousand tonnes in the previous year.
Overall supply shortage due to lower production, ban on import of yellow pea and also imports not viable due to higher import duty has supported prices. Moreover, procured Chana stock with government is less.
With the opening of the Indian economy and upcoming festival season demand for Chana and its derivatives, besan and Chana dal is likely to increase sharply on the other hand supply constraint can lead to modest rise in Chana prices. But third wave of Covid and any sort of government intervention can restrict the likely rally.
