Impact on India
★ The sharp decline in urad exports may support bullish sentiment in the market, while the limited decline in tur is expected to provide mild support.
★ Production of both crops has also declined this year. The urad and tur crops in Myanmar have already arrived, while African tur supplies are expected only after August.
★ This may provide support to prices.
