Weekly Review – Moong (Green Gram)

Moong prices remained stable throughout the current week, driven by sluggish demand. Trading activity was limited as most agricultural produce markets (*mandis*) remained closed due to festive holidays. Offtake for moong dal (split green gram) has been weak, prompting pulse mills to restrict their procurement to only what is immediately required. With limited buying from millers and a general lack of market demand, there was little fluctuation in moong prices. Currently, market participants are closely monitoring consumer demand for the pulse and the procurement activity of the mills. Until there is an improvement in demand, the likelihood of a significant surge in moong prices remains limited, and the market is expected to continue in a stable trend. Due to the persistent sluggishness in demand from pulse millers, prices for moong in Delhi remained unchanged this week, holding steady at Rs 7,800–8,700 per quintal.

With both buying and selling activity remaining subdued, there was no notable change in moong prices across Rajasthan this week. Prices stood at Rs 7,000–8,500 per quintal in Jodhpur, Rs 7,100–8,100 in Jaipur, Rs 7,500–8,500 in Merta, Rs 8,000–8,700 in Nagaur, and Rs 7,300–8,100 in Kishangarh.
