There was not much buying in the market, prices of basmati varieties were ruling with marginal variations, while the prices of non-basmati were flat, said Mr Amit Chandna, proprietor of Hanuman Rice Trading Company. Incessant rain since Sunday night is also a reason for low buying in the market, he added.
