Weak buying support continues to hit pulses

Sluggish trend continued in pulses and pulse seeds on slack demand and weak buying support. Tur has been ruling stable in local mandis for the past few days on slack demand from the millers. Though local mandis remained closed on Wednesday on account of ‘Ganesh Chaturthi’ festival, in private trading, tur (Maharashtra) ruled at Rs 4,500 a quintal, tur (Madhya Pradesh) at Rs 3,800-4,000.

Tur prices in the past one month have declined by Rs 600 a quintal on weak buying support on account of rains and slack demand in pulses. However, as compared with its prices last week, tur (Maharashtra) is ruling Rs 50 higher.
