  • In last one month, Guar seed prices have declined by 5-7 percent in most of the domestic spot markets of Rajasthan, Haryana, and Gujarat.

  • The arrivals of new crop in domestic markets have kept pressure on Guar prices. Currently, subdued demand is noted from Guar seed crushing mills of Rajasthan and Gujarat. The price trend is likely to remain weak in the month of October as supply pressure will be high against weak demand.
