Mumbai. Tuvar (pigeon pea) prices continued to rise during the current week. Arrivals in producing markets remained weak, while strong demand from pulse millers supported the rising prices.

Continued buying led to a further increase in Mumbai African Tuvar prices this week, with prices ending the week at Rs. 100/150 per quintal: Mozambique White (Rs. 5550/5600), Gajari (Rs. 5250/5300), Matwara (Rs. 5300/5350), Malawi (Rs. 5000/5050), and Sudan (Rs. 7000 per quintal).
