Barley prices strengthened by 2.45 per cent to Rs 1,399 per quintal in futures trading today as speculators raised their bets, tracking a firming trend at the spot markets.
Marketmen said strong demand from cattle-feed and beer makers at the spot markets coupled with tight supplies mainly led to the rise in prices here at futures trade.
