Barley futures on MCX may trade on the higher side due to dwindling arrivals in the spot market.
However, profit booking may lead to occasional dip in prices.
The poor rainfall is unlikely to have immediate impact on barley output as it is a rabi crop. However, the below normal rainfall will lower ground water availability and hit crop prospects next season.
Prices are expected to remain firm till September.
