Prices of tur in Kalaburagi were up because of a rise in demand from millers. Acreage of tur across the country is down 19% on year at 4.2 million ha. This is also seen supporting the upside in tur prices. The country harvested 9.33 million tonne Chana in the last crop year ended June, up sharply from 7.06 million in the previous year. Traders, however, believe that the government’s data on chana production was inflated, and the crop may have been much smaller, as stocks are low.
