Prices of aromatic and non-basmati rice ruled almost unchanged on Wednesday with trading being slack.
Following sluggish overseas and domestic demand, the rice market is witnessing a steady trend, said Mr Amit Chandna, a rice trader. “Traders are not getting fair margins by selling on current levels. As the mercury rises, demand will also increase,” he added.
Pusa-1121 (steam) ruled at Rs 5,200-5,340 a quintal; Pusa-1121(sela) at Rs 4,250-4,360; and Pusa-1121(raw) at Rs 5,150-5,200. Basmati (sela) was sold at Rs 6,200-6,250 and basmati (raw) at Rs 7,300-7,350. Duplicate basmati ruled at Rs 3,950-3,970 a quintal.
Brokens such as Tibar was quoted at Rs 3,000-3,400; Dubar at Rs 2,200-2,500 and Mongra at Rs 1,800-2,000.
