Dry Grains from Rs 5 to Rs 7 More Expensive

The most significant increase was red beans, white and pale. These three dry grains have risen by over 50%. If tonne sold for $ 1,000 in December, it currently sells for $ 1500 or even more in some wholesalers in exporting countries, said Veemarlaine Veerapen, director of GM Veerapen Ltd.. The reason given by the suppliers is that the harvest in China is not good. Therefore, consumers will pay the dry grains from Rs 5 to Rs 7 more when the next shipment arrives in the country.

Same story for another major supplier, including Tiremaster Ltd, an importer of dry grains. "We will have to wait a few months to see if there will be a drop but we do not think this will happen," said Rajesh Ramdenee, its director. According Veemarlaine Veerapen all dry grains imported from China have increased and will increase even as their prices fluctuate rapidly. "On the other dry grains have also increased but a small margin. Here at home we will have no choice but to pass this increase to consumers, "he said.

Regarding the large pea, the threat of a shortage is looming on the horizon. The harvest of 2013 was not better than 2012 and previous years. California and Peru are the two largest producers of this dry they call 'Lima Beans' grain are affected by a severe drought. Therefore it is the pea Cape Madagascar is popular. The price of this vegetable has increased by 50% in the global market. Countries like Dubai, Libya, India and Spain are far more important than Mauritius. Offer can not meet demand. This is the reason for this increase. A Maurice was not satisfactory quantity. The prices of several dry grains remain high for several months.

Consumers have a choice of five varieties of dried beans on the market. They are mainly imported from Australia, Canada, Turkey, China and the United States. But since the freight is very expensive when dry grains come from Canada or the United States, traders prefer to import from neighboring countries.
