Daily Price Monitoring Report
23 January 2019
Pulses Today’s Developments:
• Karnataka govt. has released 2nd Adv. Est for 2018-19 crops on 22nd Jan-2019. It has decreased tur
production estimate from 1st Adv Est. of 7.22 to 5.82 lakh tonne, down by over30%.Chana
production estimate too has been decreased by 27.46 % from4th Adv. estimate to 5.23 lakh toone.
However, moong production estimate has been increased from1.16 to 1.38 lakh tonne in second Adv
estimate.
• Pressure on chana continues with rains in many growing regions. Buyers are not willing to buy in bulk
quantity at current level despite lower area coverage. In Delhi market chana is being traded at
Rs4450-4475 per qtl. Actually, higher availability of chana in MP in Central pool and continuous
selling by Nafed has put a cap on market. Futures too remain unsupportive to cash market.
Availability is higher than actual demand. So any spike in chana market is unlikely in the near term.
Recent rains have benefitted chana crop in many growing regions. It may continue to trade in the
range of Rs4300 to 4600 in the north and central India.
Recent Developments that are still Influencing Markets:
• (22 Jan 2019) Pressure on chana market continues. Recent rains have benefitted chana, tur and
masur crops standing in the field. In Delhi market chana traded at Rs4450-4475 per qtl.No trade was
reported in first session. Nafed selling continued to cap uptrend in chana market. Buying remains
restricted. New crop from Raj and MP is expected from mid Feb. Steady to slightly weak momentum
might be seen in the near term.
• (21 Jan 2019) Moong procurement from kharif 2018 season is almost over in all states except
Gujarat and UP. Nafed has procured 294743.97 MT so far. Rajasthan has contributed the highest
quantity 236277.28MT So far. The season is likely to end with 2.95 lakh tonne. Karnataka has
contributed 29136.74MT, Telangana-13375.31 MT and Mah-13007.73MT.Stock in central pool is
2.95 lakh tonne. If Nafed decides to sell, it would ease supply side. Besides, new crop from Rabi
season would be available from March end.So any big spike in cash moong market is unlikely.
• (18 Jan 2019) Lower production and yield of tur crop in major growing belt and private trades active
buying remain supportive to tur market. Trades are being taken place at Rs5000 qtl, while forward
deal for Feb is being struck at Rs5200. There is no parity for north India from Karnataka. Besides, crop
condition in Myanmar too is not good and production is expected to decrease by 15 to 20 % there
too. So millers are buying at higher price. Old stock is decreasing fast. Besides, Karnataka govt would
buy tur at 6100 per qtl. It may help market to move up again. Under current scenario, tur price may
touch MSP level soon. Pulses market is awaiting Madras high court decision over import of moong
and urad. It is expected on 20-21 Jan-2019.It would decide market trend for urad and moong.
Karnataka govt would buy tur at Rs6100 per qtl., offering bonus of Rs 425 per qtl.
• (15 Jan 2019) Pulses market is awaiting Madras high court decision over import of moong and urad.
It is expected on 20-21 Jan-2019.It would decide market trend for urad and moong.
• (11 Jan 2019) AP govt. has published 2nd Adv. estimate for principal pulses crop on 4th Jan-2019.Tur
area and production has been pegged at 249 thousand ha and 122 thousand tonne this year in
AP.Urad area and production has been pegged at 356 thousand ha & 298 thousand MT this year in
AP. Out of total kharif and rabi area, kharif contributes 334 thousand ha and rabi contributes 22
thousand ha.Moong area & production has been pegged at 133 lakh ha and 85 thousand MT in the
second adv. estimate for pulses in AP. Out of total kharif and rabi moong production of rabi moong
has been pegged at 77 thousand MT in AP.
• (08 Jan 2019) Madras high court is likely to start hearing the case related to pulses import from
today. Market expects result soon. There is a common view in the market that court will give decision
Daily Price Monitoring Report
23 January 2019
in favor of govt.It means import higher than permitted quantity would not be allowed in any case.
So, firmness in pulses in the near term depends on court’s decision.
• (04 Jan 2019) Nafed may retain 4 lakh MT chana &1.5 lakh tonne Masur for PDS. This means Nafed
in MP would release/sell chana in the open market maintaining 4 lakh tonne for PDS. There will be
no tender for masur.
• (03 Jan 2019) Govt. has procured 259576.29MT moong during Kharif-18 Season as on 01-01-2019
under PSS. Around 29136.74MT has been procured in Karnataka. Around 390.64MT in Tamil Nadu
and 13375.31 MT in Telangana. The maximum quantity (202765.58MT) has been procured in
Rajasthan and 10931.22MT in Maharashtra. The rest quantity has been procured in other states.
• (29 Dec 2018) Govt. allowed export of Tur, Urad and moong dal. It may help market to recover in
the medium term. Exporters are awaiting export incentives to be competitive in global pulses market.
• (24 Dec 2018) Tur market may trade firm as crop in south India is believed to be 30 percent lower
this year. The real impact of lower crop size might be seen from March-2019 and it may move up by
Rs 300 to Rs500 from current level. Buyers are active and procurement is yet to start. Overall tone
remains firm.

Groundnut (No Significant Developments)
Current Developments: Recent Developments that are still Influencing Markets: • (02.01.2019) The groundnut rabi sowing has been lower y-o-y as the lower residual moisture
hasn’t helped farmers going for the rabi crop in states of Telangana and Karnataka. However in
TN the sowing is better as the rains has been good.
• The North East Monsoon as on 26th Dec closed with overall 41% deficit. Rabi groundnut area such
as Telangana was deficit by 65%, SI Karnataka by 41%, NI Karnataka by 65%, Rayalseema by 62%
and TN by 22%. Thus the NE monsoon rainfall also didn’t assist in rising groundnut acreages
despite of the prevailing higher groundnut prices as compared to last year.
• (19.12.2018) With the groundnut modal prices at Adoni bottoming out for the season the
downside potential remains limited and the tone of bullishness depends on the quantum of rabi
and summer groundnut arrivals in AP and crop performance in nearby states. Gujarat summer
crop is going to be one of the lowest and hence fresh supplies from rabi and summer seems to be
lower as of now.-
• (18.12.2018) The current cyclone Pethai has brought copious and widespread rains in many parts
of Karnataka, TN, AP and Telangana. Such rain is going to much benefit the prospects of rabi
groundnut sowing. However it is too early to say anything about the spring summer crop which
usually happens to be very negligible in these states.
• (30.11.2018)-The state government of Gujarat after delay of almost a week has decided to
expedite the payment of dues to the groundnut farmers. The first instalment of Rs.167 crore will
be paid to the farmers in the next two days. The government had purchased 40,000 tonnes
groundnuts worth Rs 198 crore from farmers but only Rs 1.22 crore has been paid since the date
of purchase (November 15).
• (22.11.2018)-Exporters of groundnut have urged the Union government to provide 10% incentive
under the Merchandise Exports from India scheme (MEIS) to increase exports to China and the
European Union. Though China and European Union are the major markets for oilseeds, India
exports minimal quantities to these countries. China imported about 290,000 tonnes of
groundnut in 2017-18 and India’s share was only 627 tonnes. Overall imports of groundnut by
European Union is about 8 lakh tonnes and India imports around 15,000 tonnes. India is facing
competition from African countries which has zero duty on exports to China.
• (20.11.2018)-The Gujarat government will conduct groundnut procurement in coordination with
the National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India Limited (Nafed). Earlier,
differences had surfaced after Nafed refused to procure groundnut and other agriculture crops
citing inadequate infrastructure with the State agencies. Nafed's concerns came after last year’s
reports of irreg-ularities and malpractices at groundnut warehouses. As per the latest data, so far
8700 tonnes of groundnut worth Rs.43 crore has been procured from over 3700 farmers in the
State.

Sugar Today’s Developments:
• Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) has lowered India's 2018-19 sugar production estimate by
2.5% to 307 lakh tonnes from first advance estimate of 315 lakh tonnes issued in October 2018.
ISMA has procured the satellite images of cane area already harvested and remaining un harvested
area in the fields, across the country during mid-season i.e. in the second week of January 2019. On
the basis of these images of harvested and balance area, trend of yields and sugar recoveries
achieved till now as also expected yield/sugar recovery in the balance period of the sugar season,
sugar production in the current season is estimated to be around 307 lakh tonnes, against the first
advance estimates of 315 lakh tonnes released by ISMA in October 2018.This is after considering
estimated diversion of 5 lakh tonnes of sugar into production of ethanol through ‘B’ heavy molasses.
• Till 15th January 2019, 510 sugar mills in the country have produced 146.86 lakh tonnes of sugar,
compared with 135.57 lakh tonnes produced on the corresponding date of last year, i.e., current
year’s production is 8.32% ahead of last year’s production. This is because the mills have started
earlier this season, even though the whole year’s sugar production will be less than last year. As on
15th January 2019, 117 sugar mills in U.P. were operating and they crushed 382.1 lakh tonnes of
sugarcane and produced 41.93 lakh tonnes of sugar.
Recent Developments that are still Influencing Markets:
• (21 Jan 2019) Cane payment arrears reached Rs 19,000 crore for the season up to December 31.This
was more than double last year’s arrears at the same date. Of the total, around Rs 5,000 crore was
carried over from last year. Excess sugar production and depressed domestic sugar price have led to
accumulation of cane price arrears of farmers in sugarcane growing States including Uttar Pradesh,
Maharashtra and Karnataka.
• (21 Jan 2019) The mills have already asked for an increase in the minimum sale price of sugar by Rs
5 a kg, to Rs 34 a kg. Prices in the country are inching up but are still only Rs 2,950 a quintal (Rs 29.5
a kg) in the wholesale market.
• (21 Jan 2019) The sugar production of Maharashtra till January 6, 2019 has gone up by 13.29 per
cent as compared to same time last year. A total of 185 sugar mills were in operation in Maharashtra
and have produced 489.51 lakh quintals of sugar, as compared to 424.50 lakh quintals produced by
182 sugar mills after crushing at least 411.22 lakh MT of cane as on January 6, 2018.
• (17 Jan 2019) - India's sugar exports are likely to be far lower than a 5 million-tonne target set by
government as a strengthening rupee and falling global prices make shipments unattractive despite
a government push for overseas sales. As Agriwatch expected that India is likely to export to 3.0
million tonnes of sugar in the 2018/19 marketing year that started on Oct. 1
• (17 Jan 2019) - The Government of Punjab has released Rs 35 crore to the cooperative sugar mills
of the state towards the payment for sugarcane dues for the year 2017-18. The same has been
credited into the accounts of the sugarcane farmers.The cooperative sugar mills had dues
amounting to Rs 182.26 crore pending towards the government as of December 31, 2018, out of
which Rs 151.82 crores remain due following the payment of Rs 35 crore.Out of these Rs 151.82
crore, a sum of Rs 65 crore has been released by the Punjab Rural Development Board, which would
be paid soon. This was stated by the state cooperation minister, S Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa.

Cotton Today’s Developments:
• FEB MCX cotton on Tuesday closed down -160 (-0.75%). Cotton Prices have seen in range – bound
from last few weeks due volatility in exchange rate and lower international prices. However the
Cotton spot market prices have been higher this season on account of bullish global cues. Also, pace
of arrivals in India has been slow as farmers await better prices. Prices may strengthen gradually
over the next few months as arrivals are expected to remain slow and demand might improve
significantly from China, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
Recent Developments that are still Influencing Markets
• (22 Jan 2019) India's cotton exports to Pakistan are unlikely to see a sharp jump, despite the
neighbouring country scraping import duty, as high domestic prices have made exports
uncompetitive. Indian cotton is currently available around 43,000 rupees a candy (1 candy = 356 kg),
while prices in Pakistan are at sub 43,500 rupees making it (exports) unviable so far.
• (21 Jan 2019) Indian physical market gained nearly 500 Rs. Per candy during this week. In Gujarat
ginners have big disparity so ginning is running in slow pace. Some ginners closed ginning operation
for festival week.
• (21 Jan 2019) Kapas prices for BT cotton traded lower on week on week at Adoni market, last
reported around INR 5556 per quintal. Cotton supplies reported slowly during the week, mainly due
to festival holidays in key cotton growing regions. All India cotton daily arrivals are stated around
150 K bales. Demand from the export market remains slow, domestic buying is reported to be hand
to mouth. Total arrivals reached approximately 13.70 million bales by now.
• (21 Jan 2019) Domestic prices continue to remain at elevated levels due to hoarding by farmers on
expectation of spike in prices in coming days as domestic consumption remains bullish and output
seen lower. MCX, cotton prices have risen almost 3% , since mid-December and had hit a three week
high of 21,280 rupees a bale.
• (11 Jan 2019) - According AP Agricultural Department, Cotton output in the state, in the 2018-19
season is seen declining 6% on year to 1.91 mln bales. Yield is seen at 525 kg per ha compared with
580 kg per ha in 2017-18. Agriwatch is expecting cotton output for the season for the state it will be
around 1.65 mln bales.
• (11 Jan 2019) - ICE March cotton settled at 73.13 cents, up 1.46 cents, July was at 75.66 cents, up
1.26 cents and December was at 74.19 cents, up 0.96 cent. Wednesday’s estimated volume was
35,900 contracts traded. Sharply higher crude oil prices and a weaker dollar were supportive. Some
of the focus in the recent US/China trade talks was over China’s pledge to buy a substantial amount
of US goods. At the moment, we have little way of gauging current export demand with the
government shutdown keeping the Export Sales reports from being released.
• (09 Jan 2019) - As per the latest estimates by Agriwatch, cotton output in country during the season
2018-19 would be around 338.22 lakh bales (of 170 kg each) which is lower compared to 365 lakh
bales of last season. AW has reduced the crop estimate for Gujarat to around 92.82 lakh bales (from
108 lakh bales last year), Maharashtra to around 72 lakh bales (83 lakh last year), Telangana and AP
by 52.00 lakh and 16.50 lakh bales respectively. The main reason for reduction in cotton crop is that
farmers have uprooted more than 50% of their cotton crop after second picking and foregone the
third and fourth pickings due to moisture deficiency and pest attacks.Dry spells in the initial stages
of the crop, too, led to stunted growth of bolls, were the major reasons to decline in cotton yield in
India.
• (09 Jan 2019) Agriwatch expects imports of cotton during current year may reach 27 lakh bales as
against last year’s of 15 lakh bales. This is supported by weak global prices, which have touched their
lowest levels in more than a year at 72.1 cents per pound for ICE futures by December. The volatility
Daily Price Monitoring Report
23rd Jan 2019
in exchange rate, and expectation of lower output this year leads to higher imports of cotton.
Although imports are higher than last year, importers are finding it difficult to locate quality material
as good quality cotton of the US, Australia and Brazil has already been sold. Also, exports have
declined to 53 lakh bales compared to 70 lakh bales during corresponding period of last year. The
reduction in exports is mainly due to stronger Indian Rupee, lower production and weak
international prices.
• (08 Jan 2019) The CAI has estimated cotton crop for 2018-19 season at 335 lakh bales of 170 kgs
each which is lower by 5.25 lakh bales than its previous estimate of 340.25 lakh bales made during
last month. Statements containing the State-wise estimate of the cotton crop and the Balance Sheet
for the crop year 2018-19 with the corresponding data for the previous year are enclosed. The CAI
has reduced the crop estimate for Gujarat, Maharashtra and Telangana by 1.50 lakh bales, 2 lakh
bales and 2 lakh bales respectively. The main reason for reduction in cotton crop is that farmers
have uprooted their cotton plants in about 70-80% cotton area due to moisture deficiency due to
less rains and as a result of which there is no scope for 3rd and 4th pickings.

Palm Oil Today’s Developments:
• According to cargo surveyor Societe Generale de Surveillance (SGS), Malaysia’s Jan 1-20 palm oil
exports rose 9.4 percent to 962,507 tons compared to 879,491 tons in corresponding period last
month. Top buyers were European Union 219,740 tons (137,294 tons), China at 194,072 tons
(255,010 tons), India at 146,500 tons (175,910 tons), United States at 69,050 tons (64,405 tons)
and Pakistan at 29,000 tons (38,500 tons). Values in brackets are figures of corresponding period
last month.
Recent Developments that are still Influencing Markets:
• (22 Jan 2019)-Palm oil prices are supported by expectation of fall in stocks of palm oil in Malaysia,
fall in production of palm oil in Malaysia, firm exports of palm oil from Malaysia and firm crude
oil prices. Palm oil end stocks in Malaysia are expected to fall in January in Malaysia due to fall in
production and firm exports. Palm oil stocks rose to record in history in December on back of firm
production and slow rise in exports. Production is expected to fall on seasonal downtrend of
production. Production fell in December indicating that peak production is over and production
will fall until Mar-Apr. Exports of palm oil are expected to stay firm in Malaysia in Jan due to firm
demand from China and India. China will buy more palm oil to set-off lower production of soy oil
in the country due to lower crush on swine flu and lower imports of soybean by China. Chinese
New Year is approaching and demand of edible oils will firm, paving way for more palm oil due to
low supply of soy oil. India is expected to buy more palmolein as Malaysia has been given 5%
lower import duty compared to alternate destinations. Further, India is expected to buy more at
current prices and port stocks of palmolein are low at Indian ports. Rise in crude oil prices will
support palm oil prices.
• (17 Jan 2019)-According to Malaysia Palm Oil Board (MPOB), Malaysia kept February crude palm
oil export duty unchanged at 0.0 percent. Export duty of palm oil is calculated at reference price
of 1904.44 ringgit ($463.48) per ton. Tax is calculated above 2,250 ringgit starting from 4.5 percent
to a maximum of 8.5 percent.
• (17 Jan 2019)-Crude Palm oil import scenario- According to Solvent Extractors Association (SEA),
CPO Imports rose 10.2 percent y-o-y in Dec to 6.70 lakh tons from 6.08 lakh tons in Dec 2017.
Imports in oil year 2018-19 (November 2018-December 2018) were reported higher by 6.08
percent y-o-y at 12.39 lakh tons compared to 11.68 lakh tons in last oil year.
• (17 Jan 2019)-RBD palmolein import scenario- RBD palmolein imports rose y-o-y in Dec by 22.43
percent to 1.09 lakh tons from 1.47 lakh tons in Nov 2017. Imports in oil year 2018-19 (November
2019Decemberr 2018) were reported lower by 25.64 percent y-o-y at 21.35 lakh tons compared
to 28.71 lakh tons in last oil year.
• (17 Jan 2019)-Imports of edible oils rose in the month of December on the back of firm palm oil
and sunflower oil imports. CPO imports continued its firm trend for six the month. Imports of RBD
palmolein rose on weak base. Higher CPO imports in December have led to surge in ports stocks
of CPO which will weigh on its prices. RBD palmolein port stocks fell in December despite higher
imports. However, imports performance of CPO and RBD palmoelin will reverse from January as
fresh import duty cut was effective from 2019. Imports of RBD palmolein will rise due to higher
import parity and margins in imports than domestic refined RBD palmoelin. Sunflower oil imports
rose in December due to low premium of sunflower oil over soy oil. Soy oil showed weak imports
in December on seasonal downtrend. January import read will be important to watch as import
duty reduction of palm oil especially RBD palmolein from Malaysia which received preferential
treatment in import duty compared to other palm oil importers.

Groundnut oil Today’s Developments
(No Significant Development)
Recent Developments that are still Influencing Markets:
• (7 Jan 2019)-Groundnut oil prices are expected to be supported by firm demand. Demand is firm
due to peak season demand. Demand is expected to firm if volatility in groundnut oil prices
stabilizes. Prices of groundnut oil will moderate in later part of January as peak season will be
over. Demand of groundnut oil will weaken in the range of Rs 1000-1050 per 10 kg. There is no
parity in crush of groundnut. Rise in palm oil prices will improve groundnut oil demand. In South
India, groundnut oil prices rose in parity with Gujarat and firm demand
• (24 Dec 2018)-Groundnut oil prices are underpinned by weak demand at higher levels. Demand
has weakened despite being peak demand season as prices of groundnut oil is high compared to
competitive oils. Consumers are purchasing mix of oils in place of groundnut oil. Rural demand is
weak as farmers have not received payment of their crops. There is no parity in crush of
groundnut. In Andhra Pradesh prices of groundnut fell in parity with Gujarat.
• (7 Dec 2018)-Saurashtra Oil Mills Association (SOMA), has asked union commerce ministry to
announce incentives for groundnut exports. There are about 3,000 groundnut manufacturers in
Suarashtra. Of the 6 lakh ton of exports of groundnut, around 3 lakh tons of groundnut are
exported from Saurashtra. It is asking for six percent duty drawback on exports of groundnut.
There is tough competition in international markets of groundnut.

Rice
Today’s Developments:
• China has pledged to purchase 400,000 tonnes of rice from Cambodia this year. Last year,
Cambodia exported 626,225 tonnes of rice to international markets, a drop of 1.5 percent
compared to 2017. By individual country, the largest buyer was China (170,000 tonnes), followed
by France (90,000 tonnes), Malaysia (40,000 tonnes), Gabon (30,000 tonnes), and the Netherlands
(26,000 tonnes).China’s pledge to buy more rice from Cambodia came as the European

has decreased from 4.91 lakh hectare from last year, so far 17.93 lakh hectares was done in paddy
sowing which was 22.84 lakh hectares last year.
Recent Developments that are still influencing the Markets:
• According to news sources European Union is likely this week to impose tariffs on rice coming
from Cambodia and Myanmar for the next three years to curb a surge in imports.
• (11Jan 2019) - Rice procurement this season crossed 263 lakh tons as of Friday compared to 254
lakh tons in the last year till January 2018. Rice procurement is higher than last year so far and it
may turn out to be a record high if the trend reflects in Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal where
procurement lasts till June. After a sluggish beginning, paddy procurement picked up in UP in the
last few weeks as the state relaxed procurement norms. The state allowed up to 35 per cent of
hybrid paddy in overall procurement. Procurement has picked as Uttar Pradesh government has
announced various relaxations including 3 per cent higher Out Turn Ratio for hybrid paddy.
• (04Jan 2019) - All-India progressive procurement of Rice as on 04.01.2019 for 2018-19 was at
262.96 lakh tons against the procurement of 250.46 lakh tons in the corresponding period of last

total area of 512.53 lakh hectares (lh), about 4.6 %lower than 537.12 lh covered in the same
period in 2017-18.
• (23 Dec 2018) - By increasing the minimum support price (MSP) of Paddy by Rs. 1750 per quintal
to 2500 rupees per quintal by the Chhattisgarh government, the government procurement of
paddy will increase. Chhattisgarh has targeted the target of 55 lakh tons of Paddy this year. The
paddy from state of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Orissa adjoining Chhattisgarh will now come
to illegal use in Chhattisgarh
• (22 Dec 2018) - Due to the promise of increasing the MSP during the elections, government
procurement of rice in Chhattisgarh and Border States was halted. So far, 21.6 lakh tons of paddy
