Limited trading in paddy / Mixed trend in rice
New Delhi. Rabi and Zaid season paddy production is very low in northern India, but it is cultivated well in the eastern and southern provinces. Kharif paddy transplantation is going on in full swing and its production area is ahead of last year. In the important markets of major producing states, the arrival of non-Basmati (normal) paddy is becoming negligible, but the business of Basanti paddy is going on normally.
Demand
During the week of July 5-11, due to the lack of strong demand from millers / processors and exporters, the paddy business remained sluggish and slight ups and downs were seen in the prices.
Delhi
Amidst limited trading in Delhi's Narela Mandi, the price of 1509 hand paddy improved by Rs 20 to Rs 3000 per quintal and the price of 1718 increased by Rs 38 to Rs 3500 per quintal. The daily arrival of paddy in the market was between 1200 to 3000 bags. In Bhatapada of Chhattisgarh, 3000 bags of paddy were supplied daily but the prices remained stable. Similarly, the arrival of paddy in Rajim Mandi increased to 9000 bags but there was no increase in prices.
Uttar Pradesh

In Kota, there was daily arrival of 600-1000 bags of paddy and prices remained stable to a great extent.
