Non-basmati rice edges up on increased demand

Non-basmati rice prices firmed up by upto Rs 50 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today due to increased demand from retailers.
However, other grains remained steady in thin trade.
Traders said increased demand from retailers against restricted supplies from producing regions mainly helped non-basmati rice prices to trade higher.
