Prices show mixed trend at pulses market

The wholesale pulses market ended on a mixed note today as select pulses moved up on scattered demand from retailers, while a few others remained weak on adequate stocks position.
Traders said mild demand from retailers led to the rise in select pulses prices but ample stocks position against muted demand kept pressure on other prices.
Meanwhile, the government, which sees better pulses output this year, is now concerned about fall in prices of some lentils, especially moong, to below the MSP level.
The government has fixed the minimum support price (MSP) of moong at Rs 5,225 per quintal for this year.
