Mumbai. Turvar prices remained bullish during the current week. Selling slowed at lower prices after the recent decline, while strong demand supported the market. Recent excessive rains in the major turvar-producing regions of Karnataka and Maharashtra have severely damaged the crop. Consequently, a significant decline in turvar production is expected in the upcoming season. Currently, turvar arrivals in the markets remain extremely limited. Consequently, buying by dal millers and stockists is increasing. Prices have risen due to the decrease in turvar availability and increased demand.
