Tur Pulse Prices Surge in Amravati Division Amid Low Supply
What happened
Tur pulse prices in Agricultural Produce Market Committees across the Amravati division have surged to Rs 9,500 to Rs 10,000 per quintal. This price rise is occurring because farmers have exhausted their old stock, and the new crop, which is typically harvested between January and February, is still about three months away.

Why it matters
The price increase is driven by a decline in market arrivals, even though the Amravati division accounts for a significant share of Vidarbha’s total tur cultivation area. Furthermore, changing weather conditions have increased the incidence of pests and diseases, raising concerns over a possible decline in future production.
Shared agricultural issues began in the region of Amravati and Yavatmal on July 1, 2026.
