Yesterday, The demand has been spot and processors are looking just content with that. The Bihar quality cargo has become a challenge and AP cargo has come as welcome relief for Tamil nadu poultry industry using AP corn for their parents and special feed requirements. Starch product prices continues to hover between 18-19/- kg ex-factory basis, giving north/east processors good margins over south processors. The focus is now on the new crop and its arrivals which look delayed by a fortnight from previous week estimates. We can expect cargoes to arrive from II to III week of October (again no major rains in origins). On prices front market are trading sideways, destination market levels are as below
