Jaipur barley up on demand from domestic stockists.

Prices of barley rose in Jaipur owing to renewed demand from domestic stockists after a recent fall in prices. In the benchmark market, Jaipur, barley was sold for 1,390 rupees per 100 kg, up 20 rupees. Limited arrivals of the grain and demand from poultry feed sector, despite a concern over quality of domestic stocks, also supported prices. However, the overall sentiment remained bearish as demand from malt makers, the key buyers of the grain, remains subdued. Talks of import of barley are also seen capping gains in prices.
