Barley prices down in Jaipur as arrivals increased.

Prices of barley fell in Jaipur because arrivals of the grain increased due to low demand from stockists and the feed sector. Arrivals of the new crop were estimated at 150,000 bags (1bag=85kg) compared with 50,000 bags. The most-active April contract of barley on the NCDEX was down 1.16%. Supplies of barley have increased because arrivals of the new crop have gained pace. Limited purchases from malt industries also weighed on prices.
