Burma Lemon Tur:
Tur Lemon variety of Burma-origin, both old and new, extended gains for third straight week by Rs 125 to Rs 5,500-5,525/100Kg and Rs 5,700-5,725, respectively in Mumbai amid better mill buying activity and lower availability of imported Tur stock.
Similarly, domestic variety Tur traded higher by Rs 150-175 to Rs 6,225-6,250/100Kg at benchmark market Akola, on local and outstation mill purchase due to immediate requirement for crushing.
Meanwhile, millers were unable to procure good quality Tur for crushing due to reduced arrivals.
Government agency is selling old raw Tur to the mills for processing, packaging and supply of processed Tur under PDS.
India 2020-21 Kharif Tur Sowing was Up 7.32 %, as On Aug 21, At 46.6 Lakh Ha Vs 43.42 Last Year.
In forward business, Mozambique-origin Tur red variety is being offered at $620 per ton and white variety at $670 per ton in container on CNF basis JNPT.
As per market view, tur prices may be underpinned due to negligible arrivals and lesser availability of imported Tur. Active participation at the demand and sale counter of dals is expected. Supply from Mozambique is expected from September. Government is yet to give any quota to the millers and refiners.

Burma Urad:
Burma Urad FAQ new variety traded higher for second straight week by Rs 50-75 to Rs 6,200-6,225/100Kg, in Mumbai.
Similarly in Chennai, Burma Urad FAQ variety moved marginally higher at Rs 6,025-6,050/100Kg. Urad SQ variety also gained Rs 75-100 at Rs 6,875-6,900, due to better mill buying for immediate crushing requirement and fear of Urad crop damage in producing centers due to rains.
However, limited offtake was witnessed in processed Urad.
Arrivals of new Urad were witnessed in a few markets of Maharashtra, such as Ahmednagar, Barsi, Dudhani and Akkalkot with higher moisture content.
Meanwhile, Government reduced the deadline for Urad Import Annual Quota of 4 lakh MT by 6 months to 31st August, 2020.
However, the allocated quantity is not expected to arrive till 31st August, 2020 against the annual quota license due to disparity.
Millers who received import quota licenses are surrendering their licenses to DGFT.
Supreme Court has completed its hearing on Pulses Import Restriction. As per sources, Judgement is reserved. Court has not fixed the date for judgement. Parties had filed brief written submission on 27th July, not exceeding five pages. Around 27,000-28,000 MT of Urad lies at Chennai and Mumbai port.
Kharif sowing is higher and new crops will likely arrive from September end in domestic markets.
India 2020-21 Kharif Urad Sowing is up 7.62 %, as On Aug 21, At 37 Lakh Ha Vs 34.38 Last Year.
As per market talk, cautious trade was witnessed in Urad as millers/traders are sidelined and waiting for Centre's notification regarding extension of import quota in Urad beyond 31st August.

Chana Kantewala (Indore):
Chana prices gained, for third straight week, Rs 75 at Rs 4,525-4,550/100Kg in Indore due to improved mill buying at prevailing rates on immediate requirement for crushing.
Moreover, trade volume was reported to be good in chana dal and besan. Demand of White Pea/besan/dal had also shifted to Chana/Kabuli Chana due to cheaper prices and easy availability.
Meanwhile, arrivals of seasonal domestic Chana are limited. Millers were facing difficulty in procuring good quality Chana for crushing. Nafed is not interested in liquidating its stock below Rs 4,500/100Kg.
In Mumbai, Tanzania-origin Chana went up Rs 75 at Rs 4,475/100Kg due to less stock.
Similarly, Russia Kabuli Chana gained Rs 50-75 at Rs 4,500/100Kg due to low stock. Sudan origin Kabuli Chickpea traded at Rs 4,600.
In forward business, Tanzania Chana traded at $585 per ton in container on CNF basis. Russia origin Kabuli Chickpea priced at $400-$410 per ton in container on CNF basis. Sudan origin Kabuli Chickpea quoted at $585-$590 per ton in container on CNF basis.
US origin Chickpea new 9mm (58-60 count) priced at $805 per ton in container on CIF basis for October-November shipment.
As per market talk, Chana prices are still attractive for millers/traders due to cheaper pulses. Even consumption is likely to increase as the economy comes out of lockdown and festive season demand is jacking up price that is still below the MSP of Rs 4,875. Less stock and negligible overseas supplies of Kabuli Chickpea and White Pea may support Chana prices.
Meanwhile, NAFED has indicated that the chana stocks procured so far will be sold through various government schemes announced (PMGKAY).

Imported Masoor (Mumbai):
Canada crimson variety and Australia origin Masoor ruled steady to firm at Rs 5,251-5,325/100Kg and Rs 5,375, respectively in Mumbai, amid selected mill buying at lower rates for immediate crushing requirement.
However, cheaper overseas supply of raw and processed Masoor and slow offtake in Masoor dal will limit the gains.
Similarly, Canada crimson variety Masoor at Hazira and Mundra port gained Rs 20-30 each at Rs 5,271/100Kg, respectively.
Vessel M V PAOLO TOPIC carrying 57,400 tonnes of Canada Masoor, arrived at Mundra Port on 4th Aug has started discharging its cargo.
Vessel M V RODOPI carrying 19,000 tonnes of Canada Masoor arrived at Kandla Port on 7th August and has started discharging its cargo.
Vessel M V SBI LYRA carrying 57,000 tonnes of Canada Masoor arrived at Kandla/Mundra port on 15th August, 2020. 27000 MT will be discharged at Mundra and balance cargo at kandla.
Vessel M.V. Fermita carrying 37,000 MT Masoor from Canada is arrived at Sagar/Kolkata.
As per market talk, cautious trade witnessed in Masoor as millers/traders are sidelined and waiting for Centre's notification regarding import duty in Masoor beyond 31st August.
As per market sources, Masoor prices are likely to be under pressure, in a range of Rs 100-200/100Kg on cheap, overseas supplies, if government extends lower duty imports beyond 31st August. Arrivals of new crop will begin from September-October in Canada. Prices may be supported, if government does not extend lower import duty beyond 31st August or else releases fix quota of Masoor import in the backdrop of massive overseas supplies.

Moong (Jaipur):
Moong prices traded higher for second straight week by Rs 100 to Rs 7,200-7,300/100Kg in Jaipur market of Rajasthan, as per quality, amid better mill buying activity on immediate requirement for crushing and ongoing arrivals.
Meanwhile, demand and sale counters in processed Moong reported thin participation.
Similarly summer crop of Moong was firm by Rs 150/100Kg, as per quality, at Rs 6,200-6,700/100Kg in Madhya Pradesh against ongoing arrivals.
New Kharif Moong also moved up at Karnataka and Maharashtra. Currently moisture percentage has been reported to be higher due to rain. Buyers prefer to purchase Moong with less moisture.
Incessant rains led to floods in many areas during harvest period, in Karnataka and Maharashtra. This has damaged crop and quality of Moong. This may, also, delay arrivals. Damaged quality will bring down the Moong prices.
Arrivals' pace of new kharif Moong is likely to rise in Maharashtra-Karnataka along with Rajasthan from September-October.
Recent rains in Rajasthan are beneficial for Kharif Moong crop.
India’s 2020-21 Kharif Moong Sowing is up 14.09 %, as on August 21, at 34 Lakh Ha Vs 29.8 Lk Ha Last Year.
