Burma Lemon Tur:
Desi tur in Akola market gained for third straight week by Rs 125 to Rs 5,650-5,675/100Kg due to improved mill buying. Meanwhile the seasonal arrivals have not picked up pace due to lesser yield. This slow-paced arrival may continue further for month in local markets.
Meanwhile Tur Lemon variety of Burma-origin both old and new slipped Rs 50 to Rs 5,000/100Kg and Rs 5,050, respectively in Mumbai amid slack trade, as millers preferred domestic Tur over imported variety.
However, activity from millers buying was limited, as demand and sale counter in Tur dal reported thin activity due to ongoing availability through Public distribution system (PDS). But, consumption is likely to be rise in near future.
NAFED Procured 523985.52 MT (PSS)/ 125337.98 MT (PSF) Tur In Kharif-2019 Season, so far, at MSP of Rs 5,800.
In near term, Tur prices are likely to trade range bound due to matching demand and supply.
Tur prices are likely to get support due to lesser carryover stock. The millers/traders have been trading hand-to-mouth due to liquidity crunch and Government policy. Further price direction will depend on monsoon.

Imported Masoor (Mumbai):
Canada crimson variety and Australia origin Masoor fell for second straight week by Rs 50 to Rs 5,500-5,600 and Rs 5,650/100Kg, respectively at Mumbai, as millers refrained from purchasing at prevailing rates due to unattractive crushing margins. However, some speculative buying was witnessed at lower rates.
Upcoming cheaper overseas supplies, ongoing rabi crop arrivals and thin demand in processed Masoor further pressurised buyer sentiments.
On the other hand, domestic Masoor traded mixed in major market as per quality due to limited buying from local and outstation traders and millers at prevailing rates amid less ratio profit margin and ongoing arrivals.
As on June 10, 2020, NAFED has procured 1433.23 MT of Masoor at MSP of Rs 4,800.

Moong (Jaipur):
Moong prices declined Rs 100-200 at Rs 7,000-7,200/100Kg in Jaipur market of Rajasthan, as per quality, on cautious mill buying.
Similarly, summer crop Moong also weakened by Rs 100-200/100Kg in producing centers amid limited mills' buying and ongoing arrivals.
Millers/traders from Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Southern markets were interested in purchasing Moong at lower rates from producing centers.
As on June 10, 2020, NAFED has procured 1862.25 MT of Moong at MSP of Rs 7,050.
As per market talk, moong prices are likely to get support at lower rates due to lesser availability with government agency and private traders. Millers prefer parity in crushing at lower rates. Meanwhile, arrivals of summer crop are likely to slow down as farmer will get busy with kharif sowing.
