Trend: Moong prices are anticipated to face downward pressure due to the continuous influx of new crops from the Guntur and Krishna districts of Andhra Pradesh. At the same time, stockists have been actively selling their Moong stocks in Madhya Pradesh's markets, such as Indore, Khargone, Pipariya, and Hoshangabad, to clear their inventory ahead of the new summer crop arrivals. This pressure is expected to increase further in May with the arrival of the new crop from Gujarat, followed by Madhya Pradesh. Additionally, the significant 38.45% surge in India's summer crop sowing will likely result in a further increase in the supply of Moong soon.
