Wheat and other bold grain prices fell by up to Rs 35 per quintal in the wholesale grains market today amid adequate stocks availability and reduced offtake by flour mills and stockists.
Marketmen said the sufficient stocks position amid reduced offtake by consuming industries mainly led to the fall in wheat and other bold grain prices.
