Chana futures end higher amid report of decline in sowing area and crop output.
Total volumes and OI declined on Wednesday compared to previous trading day.
Meanwhile, the Department of Revenue in consultation with the Ministry of Agriculture proposed
a 10% import duty on Gram (Chana) yesterday.
According to officials, while this was a long standing proposal of the Ministry of Agriculture,
Revenue Department has taken the initiative this time following sharp decline in prices of this
commodity. This supported prices.
Officials added that the step was taken to curb cheap imports into the domestic markets.
NCDEX Chana Indore – NCDEX Mumbai Yellow Peas Spot spread is trading at Rs. 750.35/100
Kg.
According to the ministry of Agriculture, the area under sowing of Gram is at 71.51 lakh hectares
this year while the last year’s figure was 85.75 lakh hectares.
Area coverage under Total Pulses is at 111.13 lakh hectares while the last year’s sowing area
coverage was 124.78 lakh hectares. Official weekly data will be released tomorrow.
As per the 1st Advance Estimates from Ministry of Agriculture production of Kharif Pulses is
forecasted to be 5.20 million MT in 2014-15 compared to 6.02 million MT (4th Advance estimates)
and 5.91 million MT in 2012-13.
They added that production of Tur is forecasted to be 2.74 million MT compared to 3.29 million
MT (4th Advance estimates) and 3.02 million MT in 2012-13.

Charts & Outlook

Source: Reuters
NCDEX Chana January 10 MT (3230)
Trade Recommendation: - Buy in the range 3115-3120 with targets 3175-3185 and a stop loss at 3080.
Book profits.
Comments: - Support is at 3120. Resistance is at 3250. A break and close above could push prices to 3300
levels.
Outlook: Slow sowing progress could support prices. Weather remains dry and could continue to remain
key factor to watch out for the next few weeks. However, prices could be influenced by speculation of
import duty news. Rupee has strengthened today and could influence prices.
