Jowar, barley declines on stockists selling

In thin trading, jowar and barley prices fell by Rs 20 per quintal in the wholesale grains market today due to increased selling by stockists amid sluggish industrial demand.

Other grains, including rice, remained steady at their previous levels in the absence of worthwhile activity.

Traders said fall in jowar and barley prices was mostly due to stockists selling against fall in demand. Jowar and barley prices fell by Rs 20 each to Rs 980-1050 and Rs 1,210-1,235 per quintal, respectively.

Wheat dara (for mills) and wheat MPO (deshi) remained unchanged at Rs 1,190-1,195 and Rs 1,600-1,750 per quintal, respectively.
