Barley strengthens on increased demand

In restricted activity, barley prices were up by Rs 20 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today on the back of increased demand consuming industries.
However, other grains including wheat and rice basmati moved in a narrow range in scattered deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said increased demand from consuming industries against restricted arrivals from producing belts mainly helped barley prices to trade higher.
In the national capital, barley rose by Rs 20 to Rs 1,340-1,345 per quintal.
