THIS year, the price of black gram purchased directly from farmers has decreased compared to last year.
Black gram harvest will take place in the coming months, so its prices may fall further.
“The price has dropped a lot, mainly because of the road conditions. In the coming months, everyone will harvest the beans, so the price is likely to fall further. There is no upward trend, only downside, and this is because the price purchased from farmers is falling,” said a bean farmer in Hinthada Township.
In previous years, black gram prices were good, but now the farmer-selling price has been moderate, and sales are strong, according to the pulse farmers.
“The market for black gram was good last year and the year before. The price we sold was not bad, we can say it was moderately good. The sales were great. Due to heavy rains, late paddy harvest and rat danger, the yield was only sixty or seventy baskets per acre in places where it used to produce a hundred, “ he said. — Thit Taw/ZN
