Chana yesterday settled down by 0.28% at 5327 as pressure seen after the central government has planned to introduce pulses from its buffer stock to the small retail market.
According to the Department of Consumer Affairs, five states have shown interest to purchase one lakh tonnes of pulses from the central buffer stock at MSP (Minimum Support Price).
While the crop is yet to arrive in the market, delay in issuing import licences by the central government has also pushed up prices. India allows import of 4 lakh tonnes (lt) of the pulse with the government normally allowing processors to complete imports before the arrival of the domestic crop.
The fate of moong, another major kharif pulse, is no different as reports of extensive damage to the crop have come in from various parts of the country. Like tur, the import quota for moong is yet to be released while its harvest season has started.
Quality concerns seem to be higher in moong than urad, which has fetched farmers higher than MSP (Rs 7,196 per quintal) for quality produce. As rains continue to batter parts of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, further downward revision in production is not ruled out.
