Weather continues to be dry across maize growing regions

Poultry players (Broiler Integrators) are fetching the bird rated @ 90-100 across different regions in the country, with the Day Old Chik prices ranging from 40-47. The soya meal rates are a spoiler for Poultry people else the margins would have looked fantabulous. Wet corn millers are quietly crushing and exporting their produce and are busy locking positive margins from the trade.

Weather continues to be dry across maize growing regions, though some light rains/thundershowers are expected over regions of west Madhya Pradesh during the week. In terms of impact very little or none is expected. Bihar is the topic of discussion in the markets from now on and one can see if sellers are looking to sell forward, buyers looking to cover? Now? Or spot. It is this discussion which is keeping markets engaged.
