State-run STC has invited bids for the sale of an unspecified quantity of imported yellow peas in the domestic market.
Bids will close on February 16 and a decision on award of the tender will be taken by February 23, the company said on its website.
STC said the bidders should quote for a minimum of 1,000 tonnes, adding that the yellow peas offered for sale are from the 2010 crop year.
Currently, imported yellow peas are lying in the godowns of the Mumbai Port Trust and the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust, it added.
STC and other state-run trading agencies like PEC and MMTC import different varieties of pulses on behalf of the Government to augment domestic supply.
The country imports pulses as the demand is about 3-4 million tonnes higher than the domestic production.
