Pigeon Pea (Tur) Market Update: International Offer Prices Surge – What’s Next?
★ International prices of pigeon peas (tur) have shown a notable rise this week. The uptrend is mainly driven by active Indian buying, weather-related crop damage in India, and limited global supply. All prices are quoted in USD per metric ton, CNF India basis.
★ Mozambique Gajri tur rose by USD 20 to 585 USD/ton, about 7% higher than the 4-week average.
★ Myanmar Lemon variety saw the sharpest gain — up by USD 35 to 745 USD/ton, a 5% weekly rise.
★ Tanzania (Mtwara) tur increased slightly by USD 5 to 555 USD/ton, while Malawi Red tur strengthened by USD 15 to 545 USD/ton.
★ Overall, all four origins witnessed a price increase ranging from 1% to 5%.
★ If import contracts continue through November, prices could rise by another USD 10–15 per ton.
★ Due to the firm international market, import parity for India has also increased.
★ Mozambique tur, which was around ₹5,350/quintal on October 1, has now risen by about ₹100 to ₹5,450/quintal. During the same period last year, prices were around ₹7,700/quintal.
★ In Mumbai and Chennai, Myanmar Lemon tur jumped by nearly ₹400 in 17 days to ₹6,500/quintal, compared with ₹9,050–9,100/quintal a year ago.
★ New crop arrivals in India are expected to be delayed, and heavy rains have reportedly damaged standing crops in major producing regions. Exporters, sensing the tight supply, are quoting higher prices.
★ Until the arrival of the new crop, international offer prices are likely to remain firm.
