Pulses Today’s developments:

DGFT allocated 2lakh MT tur quota to 969 applicants and made it clear to all applicants to import before 31st Oct-2019.It means every applicant would be able to import198 MT. Besides, 49 mills have been given quota of 196MT as their capacity was below 196MT.All applicants need to share imported quantity with DGFT till 7th Nov-2019.Applicants who are not interested to import can withdraw application till31st Aug-2019.The rest two lakh MT has been given to private trades. But no deals have been struck so far by private trades in overseas market.

New arrival of early kharif moong is about to start in Karnataka in Gadag market. The pressure is likely to build from mid Aug. Arrival of two bags was reported today and was traded at Rs7600-7800 per qtl.MSP for kharif moong is Rs7050 per qtl. Sowing is running behind by 6.7 lakh ha to 20.50 lakh ha and it is 7 lakh ha lower from normal average. However, recent rains in Rajasthan, M.P., and Maharashtra have given much needed respite to standing moong crop. Heavy rains, if occur, may damage crop and its quality in coming weeks.

Today is the last day of mandi tax holiday in M.P. State govt. has to decide whether to continue it or not. If it is not extended, it would further affect pulses business in the state.

Recent Developments that are still Influencing Markets:

(29Th July-2019) Poor performance at urad procurement front by Nafed too was seen in rabi 2019-20.Nafed has procured 18240.54MT urad against approved quantity of 130881MT.It is only 13.93 % of approved quantity. The highest contributor was AP contributing 12797.05MT against approval of 70390 MT. Nafed procured 961.8MT in Telangana & 3379.07 in Tamil Nadu against approved quantity of 963 &58425 MT respectively as on 24July-2019. It procured almost 100% in Odisha (1102.62 against 1163 MT).

(28th July-2019) Nafed Procured 25965.15 MT moong against approved quantity of 58643 MT during Rabi 2019-20 so far. Maximum quantity has been procured in AP.It has procured 12429.05 MT against approved quantity of 19235 MT. Odisha has contributed 6086.06MT,Tamil Nadu-5383.89 MT and Gujarat-2066.15MT so far against approved quantity of 14210MT,16900 and 7093 MT respectively. This shows that rabi moong procurement is only 44.27% of approved quantity.

(27th July-2019) Indian farmers have covered 82.92 lakh ha under kharif pulses as on 26th July-2019 against 101.84 lakh ha last year. Coverage area has improved last week and may continue to improve.. Farmers have covered 29.58 lakh ha (34.57 lakh ha last year) under tur, 26.15 under urad (28.97 lakh ha last year), 20.48 under moong (27.20 lakh ha last year), 6.56 under other pulses (10.75 lakh ha last year) and 0.15 lakh ha under Kulthi (0.35lakh ha last year so far. Despite improvement in coverage area last week it is running down by 18.58%.The gap is likely to be minimized in coming weeks.

(24th July-2019) Tur cash market has adjusted now from all side effects of permission to higher import4 lakh MT before 31st Oct, decision of 2 lakh MT additional sale from buffer stock and likely import of 1.75 lakh MT from G2G basis this year. As area coverage is lower and stock is in strong


27/09/2017

hands, cash market is expected to improve from current level. In Gulberga market tur is being traded at Rs 5750-5850 and it may trade firm in coming weeks.

(22nd July-2019) As per All India Dal Millers Association President pulses production this kharif season is likely to decrease by 15 % due to longer period of dry spell and 16 % lower rainfall this season so far. Importers /millers can import only 4 lakh MT tur,1.5 lakh MT urad ,moong and pea each. This means supply for millers is likely to decrease and it would push up market once again.

(15th July-2019) Moong is likely to recover from current level as major portion of stock is in strong hands and new arrival is not expected before Sep now due to delayed sowing. In Jaipur market moong is being traded at Rs 6250-6300 per qtl.Area too is likely to decline this year.

(10th July-2019) As per market source all pulses stock except chana is decreasing and supply side may be tight in the fourth quarter. Even Nafed has decreased chana stock in MP by 3.39 lakh MT. Its really surprising. Market experts are assuming that some of stocks have been shifted for PDS, mid-day meal and other welfare schemes. It may support pulses market in coming months.

(8th July-2019) NCDEX has launched Moong futures on8th July-2019.The moong traded on this exchange is unprocessed. The exchange has selected Merta City as main delivery centre while Nokha, Jodhpur and Sri Ganganagar would be other centres. In the beginning the contract would be for Aug, Sep-2019.

(03rd July 2019) Govt .has increased MSP of pulses for kharif season 2019-20.Increase is considered marginal. Kharif pulses include tur, moong and urad.

Sugar


Indian sugar prices showed mixed trend in almost all over markets. The prices are expected to remain steady for coming few days due to less demand. Kolhapur sugar market prices stood same at Rs.3100 and may move below MSP whereas in U.P’s Khatauli market at Rs. 3335 INR.

According to the Thailand government, the tax on sugar has been surged again second time this year which is going to take effect from 1st October’19. Also, third increase is scheduled for 1st Oct’21. This will impact the sugar consumption so as to promote a better and healthy life. Many countries, like the United Kingdom, France, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, & Portugal have introduced a tax on sugary drinks over the past few years.

Today’s Developments that are still Influencing Markets:

(29th July 2019) The Agriculture Ministry has released the sugarcane sowing data as on 26th July, the area progressed slightly up to 52.30 lakh ha. Area is slightly higher by 3.98 lakh ha against the normal area and lagging behind by 3.15 lakh ha from the corresponding period in the previous year. Largest decrease in area is seen in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Gujarat by 28.22%, 23.64% and 25.68% respectively from last year. South India and some parts of Maharashtra have been affected adversely due to bad rainfall in the current monsoon so far.

(28th July 2019) The area under sugarcane has slightly risen to 20,369 ha from 16,275 ha previous year also higher than normal area as on 24th July at 17,866 ha in Telangana. The sugarcane planting has almost been completed in the state.

(23rd July 2019) Government has approved to increase the buffer stock to 40 lakh tonnes from 30 lakh tonnes for one year starting from 1st August to 31st July’20. For this, the Central government would incur the estimated maximum expenditure of Rs 1,674 crore. This provides some relief to the sugar mills across the country.

(23rd July 2019) As India is focusing on diversion of cane crush to ethanol production, India has so far supplied 29.5 crore litres of ethanol have been supplied to oil manufacturing companies. A few months ago, the Centre approved incentives worth Rs 3,300 crore to help sugar mills boost ethanol production capacity. Since India is struggling to clear the sugar stocks due to higher price of sugar in Inida compared to other countries, it becomes necessary to opt ethanol production instead of sugar production in the coming season.

(18th July 2019) India has allowed 1239 tonnes of raw sugar exports to US upto 30th September ’19 under TRQ (Tariff rate quota) which enables shipments on relatively low tariffs. It is a preferential quota that the country enjoys duty free exports upto 10,000 tonnes to US and additional quantity to the allotted quota would be charged higher tariffs on the imports to US.

(17th July 2019) India is likely to continue the export subsidies on sugar even after Brazil, Guatemala and Australia lodged complaint at WTO as it is against the global trade practices. Export subsidies are important so as to clear increase the shipment of sugar and thus helping in reducing the rising sugar inventories.

(16th July 2019) According to the ministry, India has huge potential of manufacturing ethanol as in 2018, country's ethanol market was of Rs 11,000 crore and this year it will probably go up to Rs 20,000 crore. The government has decided to proceed with a phase wise approach to achieve this target. The first generation of ethanol is expected to be produced from molasses, second generation will be from sugar cane juice and the third generation of ethanol will be generated


27/09/2017

from biomass. The government wants to accelerate the use of ethanol as fuel and also requested the petroleum ministry to start giving permission for setting up of ethanol pumps. This step will encourage the sugar mills to divert the sugar production to ethanol production from next year and would help clearing the sugar stockpiles in India.

(15th July 2019) Sugarcane acreage in the latest report released by Ministry of Agriculture as on 11th July’19 stood same at 49.98 lakh hectare 3.96% lower compared to last year in the same period (52.04 lakh ha) whereas ahead by 3.51% compared to normal area of the corresponding week. The crop condition is average but the deficient rainfall in the coming weeks would affect the crop adversely on yield.

Cotton Today’s Developments:

The Indian market remained firm at 81.13 (cents/lbs) compared to the international prices in US (63.02 cents/lbs) and Brazil stood at 65.6 cents/lbs, on the back of lower production in India this year the prices stood higher. Cotton prices would remain firm against international prices at least till the beginning of the next season (Oct’19) due to lower arrivals. On the other hand the domestic prices were expected to go up but it has fallen to Rs.43000/ candy against the beginning of the season which stood at Rs.46000/candy in the Indian market due to crash in demand amid US and China trade war despite the prevailing shortage conditions.

Recent Developments that are still Influencing Market:

(29th July 2019) As on 26th July’19, the cotton acreage has increased this year by 6.4% to reach 108.95 lakh ha compared to 102.51 lakh ha last year. Sowing is lagging behind in Karnataka, Telangana and AP by 0.39 lakh ha, 0.52 lakh ha and 0.93 lakh ha respectively whereas that in Gujarat, Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan is leading by 0.66 lakh ha, 1.18 lakh ha, 0.11 lakh ha and 1.4 lakh ha respectively compared to corresponding period last year.

(29th July 2019) Recently, China government has approved the textile industry to buy a total of 50,000 US cotton without any retaliatory tariffs. There could be more waivers on trade tariffs in the near future as the trade talks progress on Monday in China.

(28th July 2019) As on 24th July’19, area under cotton in Telangana in still slightly lagging behind by 0.52 lakh ha at 15.87 lakh ha and 16.23 lakh ha in the corresponding period last year. Similarly, in Andhra Pradesh also the area has declined to 2.29 lakh ha and which was 3.22 lakh ha in the previous year. The sowing is almost 70-90% completed in both the states and waiting for sufficient rainfall for its good vegetative growth.

(25th July 2019) Total MCX stock position stood as on 23rd July’19, stood at 1.27 lakh bales with 66,600 bales in Gujarat, 48,000 bales in Maharashtra and 13,000 bales in Telangana with total utilized capacity of 1,48,050 bales.

(24th July 2019) Due to waterlogging, the Punjab State Agriculture Department revealed that 90,563 acres of crop mainly cotton and paddy has been damaged. Bhatinda was the worst affected district bearing 31.5% of the total damage.

(23rd July 2019) The US Export Sales report indicated that 54,034 RB of 2018-19 upland cotton was sold in the week that ended on July 11th which was more than 4 times the same week last year and 1% up from the previous week. Weekly shipments were shown at 310,285 RB, down by 7% from previous week as just 7,641 RB went to China and 36.5% larger than the same week last year. Lack of demand and the long-drawn trade dispute between the United States and China has pushed cotton prices down over 16% so far this year.

(22nd July 2019) Good rains are hovering around the cotton belts covering all the states. In contrast, the heavy spell of rainfall in near district of Bhatinda, the cotton crop is in verge of being damaged as around 6,500 ha crop is lying in the stagnant water from last 2 to 3 days. If the crop remains submerged for more than 2-3 days, cotton crop would be damaged and could not survive as cotton has less water requirement.

(19th July 2019) Around 61% cotton crop has been sown in AP and the area slide down to 1.55 lakh ha as on 17th July’19, 0.32% less compared to 2.28 lakh ha in 2018-19 and 0.39% down to normal area during the corresponding period. The area in Telangana reached 13.53 ha till 17th July’19 slightly lower by 1.21 lakh ha in 2018-19 and down by 1.31 lakh ha to normal area during the same period.


27/09/2017

(18th July 2019) Cotton yarn exports from India have fallen down by 22 per cent in the first quarter as decline in global demand and higher prevailing domestic cotton prices prevailing over the trade. The global cotton yarn demand is also under stress as GDP growth in China has fallen and there are similar trends in major cotton markets including Bangladesh. This year, yarn exports are down to China, Bangladesh, Pakistan and European markets. India is the worlds’ largest exporter of cotton yarn and has major markets in China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Vietnam and South Korea. The down trend in export of cotton yarn is worsened by low margins in Indian cotton market due to higher domestic prices.

(16th July 2019) CAI estimates the cotton production likely to decline further by 3 lakh bales in the current season (2018-19). According to CAI, the arrivals of 303.56 lakh bales upto 30th June 2019, imports of 11.28 lakh bales upto 30th June 2019 and the opening stock at the beginning of the season on 1st October 2018 at 33 lakh bales. CAI has estimated cotton consumption during the months of October’18 to June’19 at 243.12 lakh bales while the export shipment of cotton estimated by the CAI upto 30th June 2019 is 44.10 lakh bales.

country due to outbreak of swine flu which has led to lower supply of soy oil leading to higher

palm oil imports. Palm oil production in Malaysia in July is expected to rise on seasonal uptrend

of production and return of labor to plantations after Ramadan leave. So production will rise

July in Malaysia. Rise in crude oil prices due to OPEC production cuts is expected to support

palm oil prices.

Groundnut oil

Today’s Developments



(30 Jul 2019) Groundnut oil is expected to be supported by firm groundnut oil demand. Retail

demand is there as these levels. Groundnut oil supply has improved due to fresh auction of

groundnut by NAFED which has improved supply of groundnut thereby increasing supply of

groundnut oil. There is parity in crude of groundnut in Gujarat for premium quality oil but most

of the trade is in medium quality oil where there is no parity. Bad crop condition of groundnut in

Gujarat is expected to support groundnut oil prices. There is less export demand of groundnut

oil and most of the export demand is in medium quality oil.

In Andhra Pradesh groundnut oil demand has weakened as groundnut oil demand season is

over. Groundnut oil stocks position is good in the market. Groundnut oil from Gujarat is not

coming to Andhra Pradesh. Demand of groundnut oil has weakened due to higher prices of

groundnut oil. Groundnut oil prices are expected to be supported by weak condition of

groundnut crop in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka as there has been no rains in groundnut

growing area and sowing window is almost over.

(18 Jul 2019) Groundnut oil is expected to be supported by firm groundnut oil demand. Retail

demand is there as these levels. Groundnut oil supply is weak due to no auction of groundnut by

NAFED which has decreased supply of groundnut thereby decreasing supply of groundnut oil.

There is parity in crude of groundnut in Gujarat for premium quality oil but most of the trade is

in medium quality oil where there is no parity. Bad crop condition of groundnut in Gujarat is

expected to support groundnut oil prices. There is less export demand of groundnut oil and

most of the export demand is in medium quality oil.

In Andhra Pradesh groundnut oil demand has weakened as groundnut oil demand season is

over. Groundnut oil stocks position is good in the market. Groundnut oil from Gujarat is coming

to Andhra Pradesh due to parity. However, demand of groundnut oil has weakened due to

higher prices of groundnut oil. Groundnut oil prices are expected to be supported by weak

condition of groundnut crop in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka as there has been no rains in

groundnut growing area and sowing window is almost over.

(28 Jun 2019) Groundnut oil prices are expected to be supported by weak supply prospects and

firm demand. Supply of groundnut oil has decreased due to lower auction of groundnut by


27/09/2017

NAFED as it is quoting higher prices at auction. This has led to lower supply of groundnut oil

supporting prices. Further, demand has firmed in expectation of low supply prospects.

In Andhra Pradesh prices are supported due to peak demand season. Demand will remain firm

until July as demand from pickle manufacturers, chatni and other value added products pick up

during this period.

Rice


No new developments today.

Recent Developments that are still influencing the Markets:

(30th Jul 2019) Barrier to Transplantation of Paddy by the Lack of Rainfall in the Coastal Districts of Karnataka: In the coastal districts of Karnataka, due to lack of rainfall, paddy cultivation has been possible in only 40 percent of the area as compared to the target of these three districts. On the other hand, there are signs of monsoon activity going up in the last 10 days, which is expected to accelerate the pace of transplantation of paddy. Kharif crop-paddy cultivation is being badly affected here. Water crisis is particularly serious in Southern Kannada, Udupi and North Kannada districts. Monsoon has received 19 percent less rain in this area.

(28th Jul 2019) Due to the Defaulter of Iranian importers, there may be a huge loss to Indian rice Exporters. Being a defaulter of Iran's leading rice importer company, payment of 1000 crores ($ 14 million) of many Indian rice exporter firms has been hanging in the balance. It is understood that the Iranian company has filed an application for declaring itself as bankruptcies, which has questioned the expectations of the payment recovery. Payment of Indian exporters is stuck on some other Iranian firms too.

(27th Jul 2019) Paddy crop in Thailand is affected by drought, while the crop in Bangladesh is

battling floods and around 50,000 hectares paddy area has been affected due to flood.

According to the Thailand Meteorological Department, the rainfall is the lowest in the last 10

years; and thus the paddy production may have an impact. This year Thailand has targeted to

export 9 million tonnes, which is less than 5 lakh tonnes from the first target given this year.

There is also the possibility of the reduction of sowing area in India due to poor monsoon.

(25th Jul 2019) Farmers are disturbed by the lack of rainfall in the major paddy producing areas of West Bengal, Hubli, Vardhaman, Midnapore and Bankura. Transplanting of paddy has not started yet in many areas. Transplanting of paddy in West Bengal usually starts at the end of May but this year, due to lack of water, sowing is getting delay. West Bengal produces 200-250 lakh tonnes of paddy per year. This year the West Bengal government can purchase 56 lakh tonnes of paddy. Bangladesh cannot import rice from West Bengal due to hike in import duty on rice by 28% by the country.

(23rd Jul 2019) In the absence of monsoon, Chhattisgarh is once again becoming dry like situation. With less monsoon, paddy cropping was not done in 50% of the area of Chhattisgarh. Durg and Rajnandgaon districts are battling shortage of water. Rainfall in the state so far 24% less than normal. If the rain does not occur at the right time, the productivity of crops specially paddy in Chhattisgarh can fall.

(22nd Jul 2019) 15,000 farmers of Haryana, who were producing traditional paddy for the last 20 years, sown maize instead of paddy this year.
