Pulses Today’s developments:
No new developments today. Recent Developments that are still Influencing Markets:
(11th July-2019) Chana may trade steady to slightly firm as buyers are expected to return to market at lower price. Arrival has not been up to the market while festival season is about to start. Nafed sales remain restrictive. In Delhi market chana is being traded at Rs 4400-4425 and it may move up to the level of Rs4500-4550.Basically, chana cash market is unable to get support from futures.If Nafed restricted auction at lower price and festive demand starts, chana may move up by Rs 100 from current level.
(11th July-2019) Area coverage under kharif moong is considerably lower this year and planting season may end with 20 to 255 lower area coverage this year. Almost half time of sowing is over and farmers would not be able to cover the short fall in area. If weather condition turns rough in coming weeks, moong price may get support. Moong futures is trading firm. Under normal condition moong may move north ward once again. In Jaipur market moong is being traded at Rs 6300-6350.
(11th July-2019) Tur market trades steady at Rs5700 in Gulberga market. It may move down by Rs 100 as demand from mills is weak right now. Besides, stockiest are releasing old stock as they fear that 4 lakh MT import and 2 lakh MT sale from central pool may cap uptrend despite lower area coverage so far.
(10th July-2019) As per market source all pulses stock except chana is decreasing and supply side may be tight in the fourth quarter. Even Nafed has decreased chana stock in MP by 3.39 lakh MT. Its really surprising. Market experts are assuming that some of stocks have been shifted for PDS, mid-day meal and other welfare schemes. It may support pulses market in coming months.
(8th July-2019) NCDEX has launched Moong futures on8th July-2019.The moong traded on this exchange is unprocessed. The exchange has selected Merta City as main delivery centre while Nokha, Jodhpur and Sri Ganganagar would be other centres. In the beginning the contract would be for Aug, Sep-2019.
(5th July 2019) Over all kharif pulses area is lagging behind by 71.55 % to 7.94 lakh ha as on 5th -20119.Arhar area is down by 75.33 % to 2.45 lakh ha so far while normal as on date is 10.99 lakh ha. Even urad area is down by 73.06 % to 1.86 lakh ha against normal of 5.70 lakh ha till date. Moong area is down by 73.95 % to2.16 lakh ha against the normal of 7.88 lakh ha till date. Kulthi sowing has just started while other pulses coverage is 47.24 % down to 1.42 lakh ha against normal of 2.48 lakh ha .However, with monsoon advancing in growing regions, sowing activities is likely to pick up in coming weeks.
(4th July 2019) DGFT has removed the condition of adv. authorization for pulses import. This means now importers need not to have adv. authorization letter from DGFT for pulses import. DGFT has already increased tur import quota from 2 lakh MT to 4 lakh MT. Importers have to import 2 lakh MT before Oct. It has already impacted tur price in domestic market.
(03rd july 2019) Govt .has increased MSP of pulses for kharif season 2019-20.Increase is considered marginal. Kharif pulses include tur,moong and urad. For arhar, the increase was 2.2 per cent (RS125

per qtl.) from Rs 5,675 a quintal to Rs 5,800 per quintal. The MSP of moong was increased by 1.07 per cent (Rs 75 per qtl) from Rs 6,975 to Rs 7,050 a quintal while that of urad was increased by 1.78 per cent (Rs100 per qtl) from Rs 5,600 to Rs 5,700 a quintal.
(28th June 2019) DGFT has started issuing license to importers. Some applicants have already received it and the rest are in process of getting it soon. There is a condition for importers that they have to import it before Oct-2019.This means supply of Tur, Urad & Moong would increase in Aug, Sept and from October new crop (especially urad and moong) would start hitting the market amid continuous sale by Nafed. So any spike in pulses market is unlikely. Even pulses demand in monsoon season weakens.
(14th June,2019) Tur import quota increased to 4 lakh MT from 2 lakh MT. Besides, govt decided to sell 2lakh MT tur from buffer stock. Besides, 1.75 lakh MT tur would be imported through G2G basis in current MY. All these developments have impacted cash market price during last one week. Apart from this govt. has instructed importers to import 2 lakh MT tur before Oct-2019.
(11 June ,2019) Govt. increased tur import cap from 2 to 4 lakh MT.Besides,2 lakh MT would be sold from buffer stock in open market. It would be imported through G 2 G basis. Govt. has a close eye on pulses market and may take all possible action to control tur price.

Palm Oil
Today’s Developments:
No significant development today
Recent Developments that are still Influencing Markets:
(11 July 2019)- According to cargo surveyor Societe Generale de Surveillance (SGS), Malaysia’s
July 1-10 palm oil exports fell 2.9 percent to 366,242 tons compared from 377,235 tons in
corresponding period last month. Top buyers were India at 115,645 tons (100,354 tons),
European Union 84,880 tons (44,600 tons), China at 41,200 tons (55,800 tons), Pakistan at
39,000 tons (0 tons) and United States at 1,000 tons (55,680 tons). Values in brackets are figures
of corresponding period last month.
(11 July 2019)- Palm oil prices are expected to be underpinned by lower than expected fall in
end stocks of palm oil in Malaysia in June, fall in exports of palm oil in Malaysia, expectation of
rise of palm oil production in Malaysia and Indonesia from July and appreciation of ringgit. Palm
oil end stocks in Malaysia to fell lower than expected on lower exports and higher imports
despite sharp fall in production of palm oil in June. Production of palm oil is expected fell in
Malaysia in June on seasonal downtrend of production and due to labor shortage as workers
were off field due to holy month of Ramadan. However, as the Ramadan is over and labor has
returned production of palm oil will rebound from July. Exports of palm oil from Malaysia fell in
July on weak demand from other destinations except India, EU and China. Demand from India is
expected to weaken due to rise in stocks of palm oil at Indian ports, lack of fresh demand
triggers and weak monsoon. If monsoon remains weak then import demand from India will pick
up. Demand from China rose in July due to lower supply of soy oil in the country due to lower
import of soybean on outbreak of swine flu in the country and US-China trade dispute. Further,
demand rose due to demand at lower levels. Appreciation of Ringgit has led to fall in palm oil
prices as it makes palm uncompetitive to competing oils.
(9 July 2019)- According to Malaysia Palm Oil Board (MPOB), Malaysia’s June palm oil stocks fell
0.97 percent to 24.24 lakh tons compared to 24.47 lakh tons in May 2019. Production of palm oil
in June fell 9.17 percent to 15.18 lakh tons compared to 16.72 lakh tons in May 2019. Exports of
palm oil in June fell 19.35 percent to 13.83 lakh tons compared to 17.15 lakh tons in May 2019.
Imports of palm oil in June rose 63.86 percent to 1.01 lakh tons compared to 0.62 lakh tons in
May 2019. End stocks of palm oil fell less than trade expectation on lower exports and higher
imports of palm oil.
(9 July 2019)-Import duty on palm stearin will be taxed at 7.5 percent, according to Finance
Minister Nirmala Sitaraman in her first budget. Palm product with Free Fatty Acid (FFA) at or
above 20 percent is subject to import duty. Palm stearin is used in various industrial applications
including soaps. India imported palm stearin from Malaysia and Indonesia. Indian industry was
asking for long to increase import duty on palm stearin which decreased refining margins of
palm oil. This step will help Indian palm oil refiners.
(1 July 2019)-According to Indonesia trade ministry, Indonesia kept July crude palm oil export
duty unchanged at zero. The reference price is set at USD 542.45 per ton, much lower than
lower threshold for export duty and below threshold of USD 570 to calculate export levy.

Groundnut oil
Today’s Developments
No significant development today
Recent Developments that are still Influencing Markets:
(28 Jun 2019) Groundnut oil prices are expected to be supported by weak supply prospects and
firm demand. Supply of groundnut oil has decreased due to lower auction of groundnut by
NAFED as it is quoting higher prices at auction. This has led to lower supply of groundnut oil
supporting prices. Further, demand has firmed in expectation of low supply prospects.
In Andhra Pradesh prices are supported due to peak demand season. Demand will remain firm
until July as demand from pickle manufacturers, chatni and other value added products pick up
during this period.
(21 Jun 2019) Groundnut oil prices are expected to be underpinned by fall in demand due to rise
in prices of groundnut oil and high volatility in prices. Groundnut oil prices surged in very short
interval denting demand. Retail demand waned due to high volatility in prices. Higher volatility
in prices leads to weakening of demand.
In Andhra Pradesh groundnut price are expected to be supported by peak season demand.
Demand in Andhra Pradesh generally firms between May-July on account of higher demand
from pickle manufacturers, chatni and other value added products.
(7 Jun 2019) Groundnut oil prices are supported by firm demand. Retail demand has firmed due
to expectation of rise in prices of prices which has led to preponing of demand. NAFED is
aggressively disposing groundnut stocks. Total progressive purchase in 2018 was 7.03 lakh tons
while carryover stocks of 2017 was 3.6 lakh tons. So total stock was 10.73 lakh tons. At present
total stock with NAFED is 5.98 lakh tons. With aggressive sale of NAFED, end stocks with NAFED
at the end of the season will be less than 2 lakh tons.
