Wheat dara up on flour-mills buying in thin trade

Wheat dara prices recovered by Rs 5 per quintal in the wholesale grains market today on the back of pick-up in demand from flour mills. 

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

Traders said recovery in wheat dara prices was mostly supported by fresh demand from flour mills but supply pressure following record procurement by the government, restricted the gains.

In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) recovered by Rs 5 to Rs 1,190-1,195 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery also followed suit and traded up by similar margin to Rs 1,195-1,200 per 90 kg.
