Jaipur barley up on local demand, negligible supply.
Ram Gopal Yadav (6 years ago)

Prices of barley rose in Jaipur following improved demand from domestic stockists and the poultry feed sector. In Jaipur, the benchmark market, the coarse grain was sold for 1,620 rupees per 100 kg, up 10 rupees. Negligible supplies in the market also supported prices. Only 1-2 bags (1 bag = 85 kg) arrived in market due to low stocks with farmers. The new crop will only be available from March. However, talks of import of the grain from Argentina capped gains in prices.

EU crop monitor trims maize.

The effects of a summer drought have continued to weigh on crops in the European Union despite less severe conditions in the past month. Persistent dryness, which has hurt crops and parched grasslands across northern Europe, also poses a risk for the rapeseed that has just been sown for next year’s harvest. Forecast of the EU’s 2018 grain maize yield to 7.49 tonnes per hectare (t/ha) from 7.57 t/ha estimated last month.
