Tur farmers seem to be breathing a sigh of relief as prices of the pulse have recovered 30% in the past six-seven sessions–15% in just two days since the government capped imports over the weekend. Government had restricted imports of tur to 200,000 tonne per annum, following which prices of the pulse surged by 400-500 rupees per 100 kg to cross 4,300 rupees in major markets. While trading activity remained subdued due to Raksha Bandhan and lunar eclipse, prices of desi tur rose to four-month high of 4,400-4,500 rupees per 100 kg at major trading centres such as Nagpur, Latur, and Akola in Maharashtra.
