New Delhi. Last week, a bearish environment was seen in the gram market. Due to lack of customer support at high prices and sluggish buying by dal millers, there is pressure on the prices of gram. The demand for pulses and gram flour remains limited, due to which the purchase of gram is not increasing. Meanwhile, pressure has also been seen in the international market. Exporters have reduced the prices and presented cheap offers of gram from Australia and Tanzania. Due to this, the prices of imported gram have also fallen.
