Quality and Price Notes
Whole tur is graded by size, colour (white and red types), moisture and damaged grain; dal by polish, size and broken percentage. Prices depend on the Indian crop, African and Myanmar imports, government stock limits and buffer releases. Because tur is the dal households notice most, government intervenes often, making policy news a key price driver.
