Maize prices up in thin trade

In restricted activity, maize edged higher by Rs 10 per quintal in the wholesale grains market today on increased industrial offtake.

Elsewhere, prices moved in a narrow range in limited deals and settled around previous levels.

Traders said increased industrial offtake against less arrivals mainly led to a rise in maize prices.
     
Maize edged up by Rs 10 to Rs 1,090-1,100 per quintal.
