Pulse prices in Pakistan have decreased because of a reduction in global rates.
As per the specifics, the price dropped by more than $100 per ton on the global market, reaching $750 per ton. Prices have significantly dropped in Pakistan’s wholesale market as a result of this decline.
Since September, Chana Dal’s price has dropped by Rs 50 per kilogram, and it is currently R 360 per kilogram. In a similar vein, mash daal has become cheaper, going from Rs 500 to Rs 425 per kilogram.
Reduced demand from India and Sri Lanka is the reason for the price drop, which has increased globally. Additionally, it is anticipated that prices would further stabilize with the arrival of six cargoes of pulses next month, with estimates indicating that costs may fall to Rs 250–300 per kilogram.
Wholesale grocers predict that next month, the cost of chana daal would drop to Rs 300 per kilogram, giving consumers some respite despite growing inflation worries in Pakistan.
Pulses cost between 20 and 25 rupees per kilogram last year in Karachi and other regions of the nation.
After the containers that were stuck at Karachi Port were released, the country’s pulse supply improved.
