MUMBAI (Commoditiescontrol) – Tur, Urad, Chana, Kabuli Chana, Moong and White Pea moved higher on week ended Saturday (Aug 12-17) due to millers trade activity due to expectation on rise in consumption during festive period from mid august till diwali. While, Masoor prices slipped on fresh overseas supply. On other hand, Green pea prices stayed steady on limited trade volume.
Moreover, further depreciation of Rupee from current level will also make import costlier.
However, still demand for processed pulses was reported limited/only to meet immediate requirement due to cash crunch.
Week Highlights

Burma Lemon Tur:
Tur Lemon variety of Burma origin gained by Rs 50 to Rs 5,350/100Kg in Mumbai amid buying support from mills and negligible domestic arrivals.
Similarly, domestic tur in bilty trade at Akola also traded higher by Rs 50 at Rs 6,025-6,050/100Kg.
However, demand and sale counters in processed Tur were thin from wholesale/retail counters due to cash crunch.
In Burma, around 500 MT of Tur Lemon Old (2017- 2018) was traded at $640 per metric ton on FOB basis for India within fortnight shipment. As per local Burma based trader, pulses cargo will be loaded for India in direct vessel on 18th August for Nhava-Sheva/Chennai.
Mozambique/Malawi Tur red traded between $580-590 per metric ton and Mozambique Tur white in range of $620-625 per metric ton. Supply likely to come from August end-September 1st week.
As per market talk, Tur prices are likely to get support from current level as stock of old Tur in Burma is depleting and now importers have to switch into new Tur which is at $715 per metric ton on CNF basis. So, landed prices of new Tur in exchanges are at around Rs 5,250-5,300/100Kg.
Either importer will not import as there is no viability or alternatively domestic Tur prices should move from current levels. So, import becomes viable.
Further market trend of Tur will depend on pace of import and trend in currency. If there is shortfall in imports of Tur as per allocated quantity issued by government to millers and also if there is further depreciation of Rupee from current level, there may be sharp rise in Tur prices ahead.
As per seasonal trend also, normally Tur prices rule firm in month from August to October.

Burma Urad FAQ old variety moved higher by Rs 25 to Rs 4,525/100Kg at the Mumbai market because of millers buying support and limited ready stock of imported Urad. On other hand, Urad FAQ new variety priced at Rs 4,625.
Moreover, prices are likely to get support due to rain in Urad producing, which are likely to affect standing pulses crops of Urad, resulting in lower yield and degradation in quality.
Moreover, further depreciation of Rupee from current level will also make import costlier.
In Chennai, Urad SQ/FAQ old variety traded higher by Rs 100-150 each at Rs 4,600-4,625/100Kg and Rs 5,775-5,800, respectively in ready delivery as per condition.

Chana prices also got support as Nafed is not selling old procured Chana.
Moreover, actual demand in chana dal and besan from consumption centres was reported. But, still activity was slow only for immediate requirement due to liquidity crunch and government holding major stock of Chana.
Meanwhile, consumption demand has shifted to chana/kabuli chana from white pea due to cheaper rates and easy availability of Chana/Kabuli Chana.

As per market talk, buying is likely to increase ahead with likely improvement in consumption demand during the festive period from mid August till Diwali. Prices will also get support due to less import of yellow pea and higher prices compared to Chana, which acts as substitute in the Chana flour.

Moong (Jaipur):
Moong prices moved higher by Rs 200 at Rs 6,100-6,400/100Kg as per quality at Jaipur market amid millers trade activity.

Import of Moong is likely to fall short of the specified quota. Import licences covering 1.5 lakh tonnes have been issued; but traders are unable to source all the quantity and may be able to get supply around 40,000-45,000 tonnes from overseas.
Mozambique Moong traded between $725-740 per metric ton, Tanzania Moong in range of $730-760 per metric ton and Brazil polished Moong at $850-900 per metric ton.

Moreover, lower output, decreasing stock with Nafed will supported the prices. Major stock of Moong were witnessed in Rajasthan.

Regular supply from overseas, availability of sufficient stock at Mumbai cold storages and godowns will presurise the sentiments.
