The Centre has approved the procurement of 400,000 tn of chana and 800,000 tn of mustard in Rajasthan to support falling prices. The move comes in the wake of the state government requesting the Centre to approve procurement in Rajasthan, as prices of the pulse and the oilseed started falling below their minimum support prices. In major markets, prices of both the commodities declined because of a spike in arrivals of the fresh crop, while demand from millers was subdued.
