Burma Lemon Tur:
Tur Lemon variety of Burma-origin ruled firm by Rs 50 to Rs 6,500/100Kg in Mumbai, due to selected mills’ participation on immediate requirement for crushing. Moreover, sellers were inactive at lower rates due to limited ready imported stock.
On other hand, domestic variety of Tur declined by Rs 50 at Rs 7,000-7,075/100Kg at benchmark market Akola.
Covid cases have been increasing rapidly in Vidarbha and Marathawada regions in Maharashtra.
To which, government earlier announced lockdown in the region to curb further spread. It had impact on spot availability of Tur. While it has not impacted the operation of millers directly, they have reported uncertainties in manpower availability.
Tur trade was reported steady but sluggish demand continues to be an area of concern in tur dal. Demand is likely to improve in coming days due to empty pipelines and lower arrivals of tur.
As per market view, Tur prices are likely to get support at lower rates as fundamentals of Tur are strong due to lower yield, less balanced old procured stock with government and import halt.

Burma Urad:
Prices of Burma Urad FAQ variety traded weak by Rs 150 at Rs 7,400-7,450/100Kg in Mumbai, on dull mill purchase due to sluggish offtake in processed Urad despite less imported stock.
Similarly, Burma Urad SQ variety in Chennai fell by Rs 150 at Rs 8,100/100Kg as sellers were active in the market, while FAQ variety was priced unchanged at Rs 7,350.
Sentiments were pressurized as holding capacity of traders-millers has decreased.
As per Burma based local trader, direct vessel carrying Urad for India (Chennai) has postponed its sail schedule. However, sources reveal that the banking transactions and port operations are likely to resume in Myanmar by early next month.
Meanwhile, container charges continue to run high due to shortage. Thousands of striking truck drivers in Myanmar protesting the military coup have slowed delivery of imports, trapping cargo containers at ports and prompting at least one international shipping line to halt new orders.
Regular arrivals of Urad have been reported at major districts of Andhra Pradesh.
