In an otherwise steady wholesale grains market today, barley traded higher by Rs 10 per quintal on increased offtake by beer makers.
Elsewhere, other grains, including wheat and rice, continued to trade in a narrow range in the absence of worthwhile buying activity and settled around overnight levels. Marketmen said increased demand from beer makers helped the barley prices to improve marginally.
Barley prices went up by Rs 10 to Rs 1,050-1,070 per quintal.
