Limited change in peanut prices amid normal trading
New Delhi. Although limited arrival of peanuts is happening in the wholesale markets of top producing states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, no significant change is being seen in the prices due to weak demand from traders and millers.
Sowing / Production
The sowing of Kharif peanuts has almost been completed and its production area is lagging behind the sowing area of last year and the five-year average area.
During the week of August 16 to 22, there was almost peace in the markets of Gujarat and there was no special movement in Rajasthan and Maharashtra, due to which the price of peanuts remained stable at Rs 5300 per quintal in Bikaner and Rs 6500 per quintal in Solpur.
Uttar Pradesh
In Jhansi Mandi of Uttar Pradesh, due to some trading between the average daily arrival of 1000-2000 bags, the price of peanuts improved by Rs 100 and reached Rs 4400/4900 per quintal, but in Mahoba Mandi, despite the supply of 425/450 bags, due to weak demand from buyers, the price fell by Rs 125 to Rs 4500/4850 per quintal. In Mauranipur Mandi, there was a daily arrival of 450-550 bags of peanuts and the price remained almost stable.
