&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;For farmers, the main source of their woes is a bumper crop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If 2015 was the year of arhar (pigeon-pea) &amp;ndash; retail prices of the milled dal scaled Rs 180-200 per kg levels in October and contributed hugely to the Bharatiya Janata Party&amp;rsquo;s defeat in the Bihar Assembly polls &amp;ndash; 2016 is set to close with the humble legume virtually disappearing from the public radar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The new crop, which has just started arriving in the market, is currently selling at Rs 4,500-4,600 per quintal in Karnataka&amp;rsquo;s Gulbarga mandi. This is below not just the Rs 8,900-9,000 levels at this time last year, but also the Rs 5,050/quintal minimum support price (MSP) declared by the Narendra Modi government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the farmer&amp;rsquo;s standpoint, what is worse is that arrivals will peak only towards January-end in northern Karnataka (Bidar, Gulbarga, Yadgir, Bijapur and Raichur districts) and mid-February in Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s Marathwada (mainly Latur, Osmanabad, Nanded, Parbhani and Beed) and Vidarbha (Amravati, Yavatmal, Buldhana, Washim, Akola, Wardha and Nagpur) regions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2015, arhar prices in Gulbarga began at Rs 5,000/quintal in January, rose to Rs 7,000 by end-June and, then, doubled to Rs 14,000-15,000 in mid-October at the time of the Bihar elections. Even through January-February, they ruled firm at Rs 8,000-10,000 per quintal. This time, though, things seem going the other way, with prices starting at Rs 4,500-4,600 and signs of further bearishness ahead. Consumers, of course, won&amp;rsquo;t mind: Arhar dal is now retailing in Patna at Rs 90/kg, compared to Rs 150-plus a year ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For farmers, the main source of their woes is a bumper crop. The Agriculture Ministry has estimated production at 4.29 million tonnes (mt) &amp;ndash; an all-time record and higher than the 2.46 mt for 2015-16 and 2.81 mt for 2014-15. The trade believes output may even top 4.5 mt, as a combination of last year&amp;rsquo;s high prices and a good monsoon &amp;ndash; plus the Modi government&amp;rsquo;s decision to hike the MSP by Rs 425/quintal &amp;ndash; led farmers to ramp up arhar sowing area by almost 40 per cent this time.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;For farmers, the main source of their woes is a bumper crop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If 2015 was the year of arhar (pigeon-pea) &amp;ndash; retail prices of the milled dal scaled Rs 180-200 per kg levels in October and contributed hugely to the Bharatiya Janata Party&amp;rsquo;s defeat in the Bihar Assembly polls &amp;ndash; 2016 is set to close with the humble legume virtually disappearing from the public radar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The new crop, which has just started arriving in the market, is currently selling at Rs 4,500-4,600 per quintal in Karnataka&amp;rsquo;s Gulbarga mandi. This is below not just the Rs 8,900-9,000 levels at this time last year, but also the Rs 5,050/quintal minimum support price (MSP) declared by the Narendra Modi government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the farmer&amp;rsquo;s standpoint, what is worse is that arrivals will peak only towards January-end in northern Karnataka (Bidar, Gulbarga, Yadgir, Bijapur and Raichur districts) and mid-February in Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s Marathwada (mainly Latur, Osmanabad, Nanded, Parbhani and Beed) and Vidarbha (Amravati, Yavatmal, Buldhana, Washim, Akola, Wardha and Nagpur) regions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2015, arhar prices in Gulbarga began at Rs 5,000/quintal in January, rose to Rs 7,000 by end-June and, then, doubled to Rs 14,000-15,000 in mid-October at the time of the Bihar elections. Even through January-February, they ruled firm at Rs 8,000-10,000 per quintal. This time, though, things seem going the other way, with prices starting at Rs 4,500-4,600 and signs of further bearishness ahead. Consumers, of course, won&amp;rsquo;t mind: Arhar dal is now retailing in Patna at Rs 90/kg, compared to Rs 150-plus a year ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For farmers, the main source of their woes is a bumper crop. The Agriculture Ministry has estimated production at 4.29 million tonnes (mt) &amp;ndash; an all-time record and higher than the 2.46 mt for 2015-16 and 2.81 mt for 2014-15. The trade believes output may even top 4.5 mt, as a combination of last year&amp;rsquo;s high prices and a good monsoon &amp;ndash; plus the Modi government&amp;rsquo;s decision to hike the MSP by Rs 425/quintal &amp;ndash; led farmers to ramp up arhar sowing area by almost 40 per cent this time.&lt;br /&gt;

If 2015 was the year of arhar (pigeon-pea) &amp;ndash; retail prices of the milled dal scaled Rs 180-200 per kg levels in October and contributed hugely to the Bharatiya Janata Party&amp;rsquo;s defeat in the Bihar Assembly polls &amp;ndash; 2016 is set to close with the humble legume virtually disappearing from the public radar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The new crop, which has just started arriving in the market, is currently selling at Rs 4,500-4,600 per quintal in Karnataka&amp;rsquo;s Gulbarga mandi. This is below not just the Rs 8,900-9,000 levels at this time last year, but also the Rs 5,050/quintal minimum support price (MSP) declared by the Narendra Modi government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the farmer&amp;rsquo;s standpoint, what is worse is that arrivals will peak only towards January-end in northern Karnataka (Bidar, Gulbarga, Yadgir, Bijapur and Raichur districts) and mid-February in Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s Marathwada (mainly Latur, Osmanabad, Nanded, Parbhani and Beed) and Vidarbha (Amravati, Yavatmal, Buldhana, Washim, Akola, Wardha and Nagpur) regions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2015, arhar prices in Gulbarga began at Rs 5,000/quintal in January, rose to Rs 7,000 by end-June and, then, doubled to Rs 14,000-15,000 in mid-October at the time of the Bihar elections. Even through January-February, they ruled firm at Rs 8,000-10,000 per quintal. This time, though, things seem going the other way, with prices starting at Rs 4,500-4,600 and signs of further bearishness ahead. Consumers, of course, won&amp;rsquo;t mind: Arhar dal is now retailing in Patna at Rs 90/kg, compared to Rs 150-plus a year ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For farmers, the main source of their woes is a bumper crop. The Agriculture Ministry has estimated production at 4.29 million tonnes (mt) &amp;ndash; an all-time record and higher than the 2.46 mt for 2015-16 and 2.81 mt for 2014-15. The trade believes output may even top 4.5 mt, as a combination of last year&amp;rsquo;s high prices and a good monsoon &amp;ndash; plus the Modi government&amp;rsquo;s decision to hike the MSP by Rs 425/quintal &amp;ndash; led farmers to ramp up arhar sowing area by almost 40 per cent this time.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>For farmers, the main source of their woes is a bumper crop.<br />

If 2015 was the year of arhar (pigeon-pea) &ndash; retail prices of the milled dal scaled Rs 180-200 per kg levels in October and contributed hugely to the Bharatiya Janata Party&rsquo;s defeat in the Bihar Assembly polls &ndash; 2016 is set to close with the humble legume virtually disappearing from the public radar.<br />
<br />
The new crop, which has just started arriving in the market, is currently selling at Rs 4,500-4,600 per quintal in Karnataka&rsquo;s Gulbarga mandi. This is below not just the Rs 8,900-9,000 levels at this time last year, but also the Rs 5,050/quintal minimum support price (MSP) declared by the Narendra Modi government.<br />
<br />
From the farmer&rsquo;s standpoint, what is worse is that arrivals will peak only towards January-end in northern Karnataka (Bidar, Gulbarga, Yadgir, Bijapur and Raichur districts) and mid-February in Maharashtra&rsquo;s Marathwada (mainly Latur, Osmanabad, Nanded, Parbhani and Beed) and Vidarbha (Amravati, Yavatmal, Buldhana, Washim, Akola, Wardha and Nagpur) regions.<br />
<br />
In 2015, arhar prices in Gulbarga began at Rs 5,000/quintal in January, rose to Rs 7,000 by end-June and, then, doubled to Rs 14,000-15,000 in mid-October at the time of the Bihar elections.
