Tur Prices Rise on Slow Imports

Tur, which is a type of lentil, is getting a bit more expensive in India.

This is happening because fewer tur lentils are being brought in from other countries, and the ones that are coming from farms are arriving later than usual.

Also, the Indian rupee is not as strong against the dollar, making imports more expensive.

Even though prices have gone up a little, they are still lower than the minimum price the government guarantees to farmers.

Experts say there's no need to worry because the prices are still below this guaranteed price.

Farmers are holding onto their tur lentils a bit longer this year because of the cold weather, and traders have sold most of their stock.

The government expects that there will be a little less tur produced this year compared to last year.
