Chana Trade Mixed At Major Spot Markets

Mumbai (Commodities control) – Chana traded mixed at major markets in the country on Friday amid limited buying support from millers as per requirement for crushing.

Flour millers were active in purchasing chana due to cheaper prices and easy availability compared to White Pea.

However, demand in chana dal and besan was thin from consumption centres. Sentiments are still weak as arrivals of new crop are likely to improve and increased availability of the government stock and the rise in selling of chana by the NAFED, especially in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.

Similarly, Burma origin chana priced steady to Rs 4,175/100Kg on limited buying by mills.
