Pulses Stock

Wholesalers will be able to maintain stock limit of up to 500 metric tonnes and for retailers the stock limit will be 5 metric tonnes.

The government on Wednesday clarified that it has not removed stock limits imposed on pulses since July 2 to control prices.

The stock limit of 200 tonnes has been imposed on wholesalers provided they do not hold more than 200 tonnes of one variety of pulses. For retailers, the stock limit will be 5 tonnes.

If you have a pulse and own a stock, you probably have seen Peter Tuchman's face. But a household name he ain't. Tuchman's histrionics play out on the stage of the New York Stock Exchange, where the 60-year-old trader - "I've been 55 for five years" - is known as the most photographed person at the NYSE.

The government has removed export curbs on all varieties of pulses to ensure farmers get remunerative prices as domestic rates have crashed below MSP in view of record production.

India, which consumes nearly 22 million tonnes of pulses annually, sources yellow peas and lentils mainly from Canada and the United States.

The government on Monday approved the creation of buffer stock of two million tonnes of pulses as the world's biggest producer of the protein-rich food grains is set to harvest record crops.

The Union Cabinet on Monday approved a proposal to enhance buffer stock of pulses up to 20 lakh tonnes, an official statement said.

Prices of pulses in retail markets across India have fallen but the government will not lift stock limits on traders as it wants to see if the downward trend is a permanent phenomenon, Food Minister Ram Vilas Paswan said on Thursday.

The government today directed procurement agencies, including NAFED, to buy tur, urad and moong directly from farmers in all producing states for creating buffer stock to supply lentils at cheaper rates and ensuring support price for growers.

Alarmed by the rising prices of essentials like pulses and tomatoes, the government today decided to boost supply through its newly-created buffer stock and imports.

Criticised for high prices of onions and pulses last year, the government is taking no chances this time. A special procurement drive has been launched to add both commodities to its buffer stock.

Chinese shares stumbled lower on Monday after an official measure of activity in the giant factory sector fell to its lowest since mid-2012, offering no respite from the economic drift that has dogged markets for months.

After pulses, rice prices may also shoot up in the coming months due to depleting stocks and a likely fall in its kharif output, according to a report by industry body Assocham.
