Tur (pigeon pea) market remained under pressure last week. At the beginning of the week, prices at Chennai port witnessed an uptick due to immediate buying by millers in Burma Lemon 2025 and 2026 container-quality stock and limited ready supplies. However, increased selling at higher levels later in the week caused prices to ease. On Saturday, Chennai Lemon 2026 closed at ₹7,950 per quintal and Lemon 2025 at ₹7,800, marking a weekly gain of around ₹125. In Delhi, Lemon variety rose to ₹8,300, registering a weekly increase of about ₹300. Maharashtra line bilty in Delhi was quoted at ₹8,400, while Akola new bilty stood at ₹8,325. Solapur new Maruti/Pink/GRG varieties traded in the range of ₹7,300�8,500 per quintal. In Gulbarga�s new mandi in Karnataka, prices ranged between ₹7,202 and ₹8,859, though the market recorded a weekly decline of about ₹157. In the domestic tur dal segment, Akola phataka was priced at ₹11,900 and Gulbarga at ₹12,000, both witnessing a softness of ₹200�300, while Katni remained steady at around ₹11,650. Among African origins, Tanzania Arusha was quoted at ₹6,900 (down ₹150), Red Lakhota at ₹6,000 (up ₹100), Mozambique Gajri at ₹6,500 (down ₹100), and Dodoma at ₹6,400 (down ₹50). In the international market, CNF Mumbai prices for Burma Lemon old crop 2025 (February�March shipment) stood at $870 per ton (USD rate ₹90.73), declining by $20 over the week. Lemon new crop 2026 traded in the range of $885�910 with a weak tone. Sudan origin was offered at around $720 per ton, cheaper than Lemon. Burma local FOB Lemon was quoted at 3,140,000 Kyat, down by 55,000 Kyat. Import data shows total tur imports during January�December 2025 at 1.326 million tonnes, about 5% higher than 1.257 million tonnes in the previous year. The government is set to begin procurement in Gujarat from February 23 at the MSP of ₹8,000 per quintal across approximately 130 centers. So far, 133,000 farmers have registered for the procurement. Meanwhile, Andhra Pradesh has floated a tender for the supply of 1,687.5 tonnes of tur dal for April�June 2026. Arrivals are increasing in Vidarbha, and harvesting in Karnataka is nearly complete. However, large farmers are holding back stocks in anticipation of better prices, while stockists continue to hold old inventory. As the domestic Nagpur-Akola line is relatively cheaper, millers are preferring it over imported Lemon variety. Overall, supply remains comfortable in the market. Trade sources believe prices are likely to remain stable to slightly weak in the near term.
