Peas weakens on ample supply

Prices of peas eased in lacklustre trade at the wholesale pulses market today owing to slackened demand from local parties against adequate supplies.

However, other pulses moved in a narrow range in limited deals and settled at previous levels.

Marketmen said subdued demand against sufficient supplies from producing belts mainly pulled down peas prices.

In the national capital, peas white and green eased by Rs 25 each to Rs 2,700-2,725 and Rs 2,775-2,875 per quintal respectively.
