Gram weakens on higher supply

Gram and its dal prices eased by Rs 50 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale market today on persistent supplies from growing regions amid slackened demand.
However, prices moved in a narrow range in the absence of any buying support and settled around previous levels.
Traders said sluggish demand from retailers against sufficient stocks on higher supplies from producing belts mainly kept pressure on gram and its dal prices.
Meanwhile, the government is considering import of 5,000 tonnes of urad dal with a view to check prices.
In the national capital, gram, gramdal local and best quality were down Rs 50 each to Rs 4,300-5,000, Rs 4,600-4,800 and Rs 4,700-5,000 per quintal, respectively.

In sync , besan Shaktibhog and Rajdhani eased to Rs 2,030 each against last close of Rs 2,060 per 35 kg bag respectively.
