Maize prices fall on subdued demand

Maize prices fell by Rs 30 per quintal on the wholesale grains market today owing to slackness in demand against increased supply.

Elsewhere, prices moved in a tight range on alternate bouts of trading and settled around previous levels.

Traders said slackened industrial demand against adequate stocks positions following increased arrivals mainly led to decline in maize prices.

Maize prices declined by Rs 30 to Rs 1070-1080 per quintal.
