Peas prices jump on pick-up in demand

In restricted activity, peas prices firmed up by Rs 25 per quintal at the wholesale market in the national capital today due to pick-up in demand from retailers.
However, other pulses moved in a tight range on little doing and settled at last levels.
Marketmen said pick up in demand from retailers against restricted arrivals from producing belts mainly led to the rise in peas prices.
