Jaipur barley prices at 3-wk high on limited supply.

Prices of barley hit a three-week high in Jaipur due to limited supplies in the market and as demand from domestic stockists and poultry feed industry improved. In the benchmark market of Jaipur, barley was sold for 1,400 rupees per 100 kg, up 20 rupees. Arrivals were unchanged from Saturday at 800-1,000 bags (1 bag = 85 kg). However, concerns over quality of the domestic stock restricted demand from malt makers, thereby, capping gains in barley prices.
