Market Influencing Factor
The production highly fluctuates between years, depending on therains received and the moisture availability in the soil.
The sentiments of traders play a significant role currently, as a
consequence of the lack of free-flow of information.
there is high substitutability between pulses in India among the
consumers. So, price of other major pulses like chana, tur, yellow
peas, green peas etc. also influence the prices of masur.
Besides this, production of the other leading exporting countries
like Turkey, Canada, USA and Australia also influence the prices to
great extent.
