Peas weaken on sluggish demand

Peas prices declined by up to Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale market today on easing demand from retailers against sufficient stocks on increased supplies from producing regions.
However, other pulses moved in a narrow range in limited deals and settled around the previous levels.
Traders said besides fall in demand from retailers, sufficient stocks position on increased arrivals from producing belts, mainly led to the decline in peas prices.
In the national capital, peas white and green were down by Rs 50 and Rs 100 to Rs 2,500-2,525 and Rs 2,700-2,800 per quintal, respectively.
