Burma Urad:
Price of Burma Urad FAQ new variety fell by Rs 50 at Rs 7,550/100Kg, in Mumbai, due to slack millers' trade, ongoing domestic arrivals and thin offtake in processed Urad despite less imported stock.
Mills are operating at almost 50 per cent capacity because demand has declined. Bulk purchases from hotels, eateries and for weddings halved this season. The drop in demand is very significant this season forcing processing units to cut down.
On the other hand, Burma Urad FAQ/SQ varieties in Chennai traded flat at Rs 7,750/100Kg and Rs 8,750, respectively.
As per Burma based trader, around 20-25 containers of Urad FAQ have been traded for India (Chennai) at $840-$845 per metric ton on FOB basis against December payment condition.
Sentiments are still under pressure as Government has taken several steps towards cooling off the prices--by giving import quota, liquidating old procured stock and releasing buffer stock at subsidised rates to the states for retail sale.
As per the notification each eligible and verified importer shall be allowed to import 97 MTs approximately. Some millers and importers have started getting licenses from government. But buyers aren’t interested in importing.
The government has entered a five-year MoU with Myanmar for imports of 2.5 lakh tons of urad.
As per market view, prices are likely to get support due to no overseas supply pressure, damage to yield and quality of domestic Urad, limited carry over stock with government/private traders.
