Current Market Developments:

Maize prices were trading in the range of Rs 2150 per quintal to Rs 2450 per quintal in most of the spot markets across the country.
  • Poultry feed industry and Starch manufacturers demand have remained subdued, normally poultry feed consumption demand declines during summer season as consumption of feed is less by birds.
