Spot Raw Tur Dal Prices In Key Indian Markets:
Market analysts predict the tur market will trade sideways in the near future. This season's smaller harvest has tightened supply, but elevated prices have shifted consumers towards less expensive alternatives. Mills are currently only purchasing tur to satisfy immediate requirements. The government's intense monitoring of the tur market has also discouraged stockpiling activities by mills and traders alike. However, with the upcoming planting season, a potential increase in demand could lead to a boost in tur prices. The next substantial supply influx is anticipated to be from African origins in September.
