Spot Tur Dal Prices In Key Indian Markets:
The Tur market is currently experiencing a period of stagnation due to constrained supply from a smaller harvest and consumer preference for cheaper alternatives amid high prices. The ongoing mango season and election-related liquidity constraints have further dampened demand. However, market dynamics are expected to shift with the arrival of the monsoon season and the conclusion of elections by June 4th. These factors are anticipated to ease liquidity concerns and drive increased demand for pulses as temperatures decline, potentially leading to a recovery in tur prices. Furthermore, the upcoming sowing season is expected to see higher seed demand due to anticipated increased acreage, which should provide additional support to prices.
