Bengaluru/ Ahmedabad: After languishing for almost two years, the prices of pulses such as tur/arhar and urad have rebounded over the past few weeks as production has been impacted by scanty rains in the key growing regions of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat. Over the past two-three weeks, the prices of tur, moong, gram and urad have risen by 10-20 per cent in various markets such as Kalburgi, Akola and Indore, among others.

The scanty monsoon, which has created a drought in parts of Maharasthra, Karnataka and Gujarat, has impacted the standing tur crop while hurting the prospects for chana, as the progress in sowing of the rabi pulse crop has been tardy. Traders and growers estimate that the tur crop, which is currently in the flowering and seed formation stages, could be lower by as high as 50 per cent over last year’s levels in several areas of these States.

“More than 60 per cent of the tur crop has been impacted by the poor rains,” said Basavaraj Ingin, President of the Karnataka Tur Growers Association in Gulbarga. The government should immediately start compensating the farmers, Ingin said, adding that the prospects for sowing of chana are also bleak as there has been no rain for several weeks now.

Similarly, in neighbouring Maharashtra, which has declared a drought in several districts, the standing tur crop has been impacted. “The situation is very bad for all crops, including tur,” said Pasha Patel, chairman of the Maharashtra Agricultural Prices Commission.
