Tur Prices Drop Amid Imports and Weak Demand

Tur Prices Drop Amid Imports and Weak Demand

Tur, also known as arhar, is a type of pulse that is commonly used in Indian cuisine.

Recently, the prices of tur have been dropping.

This is happening because there are more imports coming in from places like Africa and Myanmar, and the demand for tur is not very high.

The new crop of tur is also arriving in key producing states like Maharashtra and Karnataka.

The prices are lower than the minimum support price set by the government.

The Agriculture Ministry has approved the purchase of a large amount of tur at the minimum support price to help support the farmers.

However, the prices are still lower than last year, which is not good for the farmers.

The excess rains have also damaged the crop in some areas, which has affected the quality of the grain.
