Bajra, jowar continue to slid on fresh arrivals

Bajra and jowar prices continued to slid for the third straight day by losing up to Rs 50 per quintal in the national capital today on adequate stocks and good arrivals from producing regions.

Traders said adequate stocks positions on increased arrivals from the producing regions amid reduced industrial offtake mainly led to a fall in wholesale bajra and jowar prices. 

Bajra fell further by Rs 50 to Rs 850-860, jowar yellow and white lost another Rs 25 and Rs 50 to Rs 1,100-1,200 and Rs 2,200-2,150 per quintal, respectively.
