Burma Lemon Tur:
Tur Lemon variety of Burma-origin, both old and new, fell Rs 50 at Rs 5,700-5,900/100Kg, respectively in Mumbai amid cautious mill buying activity despite lower availability of imported Tur stock.
In Mumbai, Mozambique Tur new Gajri/White variety traded at Rs 5,650/100Kg and Red variety at Rs 5,200 against September-end shipment condition.
In forward trade, Mozambique Tur new traded at $700-$705 per ton against September end shipment.
Supply of new Mozambique Tur is likely to arrive around 4,000-5,000 tons by September end, along with Red variety Mozambique tur- approx. 3,000 tonnes and Gajri/white variety.
In Mumbai, Mozambique-origin old Tur phatka variety traded at Rs 8,200/100Kg and Sava No variety at Rs 8,000.
Buyers are cautious and trading as per their needs on expectations that Indian Government may allot quota license of 4 lakh tons Tur to millers in September. Having said so, even if the government gives quota to millers/refineries, the process will take about a month.
Similarly, domestic variety Tur traded weak by Rs 25 to Rs 6,425-6,450/100Kg at benchmark market Akola, on thin local and outstation mill purchase as slow trade activity in Tur dal was witnessed at Wholesale/retail counters.
Small traders and stockiest were active in liquidating their domestic Tur stock in the markets as they have to purchase new Moong.

Burma Urad:
Price of Burma Urad FAQ new variety lowered Rs 200 to Rs 6,300/100Kg, in Mumbai.
Similarly in Chennai, Burma Urad FAQ/SQ varieties declined Rs 100-125 at Rs 6,200-6,225/100Kg and Rs 7,200-7,250 respectively, due to slack trade, as offtake in processed Urad was reported to be thin.
Moreover, weather has been favourable as well as harvesting of new kharif crop is undergoing in major producing centers.
Arrivals pace of new domestic Urad has also increased at selected markets of Maharashtra. South Indian millers were active at purchasing good quality new Urad with lesser moisture content from Maharashtra.
As per market talk, Urad prices will be supported amid fear of crop and quality damage along with end of deadline of the allocated quota for import of 4 lakh tons of urad for 2020-21.

Chana Kantewala (Indore):
Chana prices gained for the fifth straight week by Rs 25 to Rs 4,925-4,950/100Kg in Indore amid mill buying activity to meet their immediate requirement for crushing.
However, slow demand in chana dal and besan was witnessed at the consumption centers.
Meanwhile, arrivals of seasonal domestic Chana are limited. Millers were facing difficulty in procuring good quality Chana for crushing. Hence, they are purchasing from Nafed. Nafed is active at liquidating stock at higher rates, but rejected bids of lower rates.
In Mumbai, Tanzania-origin Chana traded higher by Rs 100 at Rs 5,050/100Kg due to less ready stock.
Russia-origin Kabuli Chana gained by Rs 100-150 at Rs 5,050-5,100/100Kg, while Sudan-origin Kabuli Chickpea was priced unchanged at Rs 5,150-5,200.
Russia-origin Kabuli Chickpea is priced at $450 per ton in containers for September end shipment. However, crop is reported to be lower by 30-40%.
Sudan-origin Kabuli Chickpea priced at $650-$660 per ton in containers for September-end shipment. However, no sellers were active.
US-origin 9MM was priced at $815 per ton for Dec-Jan shipment and 825 per ton for Nov-Dec.
US-origin 8MM was priced at $690 per ton for Oct-Nov shipment.
Tanzania-origin Chana was quoted at $660 per ton in containers on CNF basis for September end shipment.
Buyers from Pakistan and Bangladesh have been active in purchasing Chana-Kabuli Chickpea from Sudan, Russia and Tanzania.
As per market talk, Chana prices will likely be underpinned at lower rates as consumption will likely continue amid festive season. Lesser ready stock and negligible overseas supplies of Kabuli Chickpea and White Pea may support Chana prices. However, supply of Chana/Kabuli Chickpea supply is expected by September end, but parity is higher.
Meanwhile, NAFED has indicated that the chana stocks procured so far will be sold through various government schemes announced (PMGKAY).

Imported Masoor (Mumbai):
Discontinuation of 10% discount on import duty in Masoor pushed up Canada crimson variety and Australia-origin Masoor in Mumbai, by Rs 50-75 at Rs 5,300-5,400/100Kg and Rs 5475, respectively in Mumbai, amid selected mill buying at lower rates for immediate crushing requirement.
However, availability of imported raw and processed Masoor stock at cheaper rates and slow offtake in processed Masoor will limit gains.
Similarly, Canada crimson variety Masoor at Hazira and Mundra port gained Rs 20 each at Rs 5,300/100Kg, respectively.
Vessel M V PAOLO TOPIC carrying 57,400 tonnes of Canada Masoor, arrived at Mundra Port on 4th August; started discharging its cargo.

Moong (Jaipur):
Moong prices declined sharply by Rs 6,700-6,800/100Kg in Jaipur market of Rajasthan, as per quality, amid thin mill buying as demand and sale counters in processed Moong reported limited participation.
Moreover, weather has been favourable as well as harvesting of new kharif crop is underway in major producing centers, such as Maharashtra, Karnataka and Telangana.
However, moisture content continues to be reported at around 14-17 percent in new moong.
Excess rains during the growth stage and during the harvest period, in Karnataka and Maharashtra, has damaged around 50-60% of crop and affected the quality of Moong too. Moreover, crop of Moong in Vidarbha region of Eastern Maharashtra has been affected due to attacks by sucking pests and plant viruses.
In Delhi, Ranchi, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh-origin Moong were priced unchanged, as per quality, on limited mill buying, ample stocks in godown around 3-4 Lakh tons and regular supply from various origins.

Imported Rajma (Delhi)
China-origin Rajma gained by Rs 500 to Rs 9,800/100Kg in Delhi on improved local trade as negligible supplies from China were witnessed due to border issue. Moreover, domestic crop and its quality is reportedly damaged in Satara (Maharashtra), supporting the prices. This may, also, delay arrivals.
