Non-basmati rice declines on sluggish demand

Prices of non-basmati rice declined by up to Rs 70 per quintal on the wholesale grains market today owing to sluggish demand against sufficient supplies.
However, other grains moved in a tight range in scattered deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said sluggish demand against sufficient supplies mainly led to decline in non-basmati rice prices.
In the national capital, non-basmati rice permal raw and wand fell by Rs 20 and Rs 45 to Rs 2,100-2,150 and Rs 2,250-2,275 per quintal, respectively. Sela and IR-8 were also traded lower by Rs 70 and Rs 25 to 2,900-2,925 and Rs 1,850-1,875 per quintal, respectively.
