Rice inventory stood at 22.7 million tonnes against a target of 9.8 million tonnes. Wheat arrivals in India begin in March and peak by mid-April, but were delayed this year as untimely rains in March pushed back harvesting. In Delhi wheat prices dropped -4.2 rupee to end at 1150.4 rupees per 10 kg. In yesterday's trading session Wheat has touched the low of 1107.2 after opening at 1112, and finally settled at 1107.2.
