NEW DELHI. Indian growers are pursuing a strategic plan to drive the permanently declining prices for chickpeas back up - and their plan might actually work. Meanwhile, the government continues to buy large quantities.

The price decline, which has continued steadily after the increase in April, is still continuing - export prices have fallen again by USD 15/mt compared to last week. In the meantime, Indian farmers are trying to create price increases through artificial shortages on the local spot markets - a plan that could well work. Market players report that the price on the mandis in Maharashtra has risen from USD 0.91 to USD 0.95/kg within a few hours.
