Indian maize prices rise in spot markets on low supply.

The most active June contract of rabi maize on the NCDEX also ended down due to easing weather conditions in Bihar, the largest producer for the current season. The June maize contract on the NCDEX ended down 1.6% from the previous close. Rains in parts of Bihar had disrupted maize supplies to markets and triggered concerns of damage to the crop. Only 300 tonnne of maize arrived in Purnea market down from nearly 2,000 tonne on previous close. Lower supplies also lifted spot prices of the coarse grain and it was sold up 10-15 rupees from previous close.
