Barley weakens on weak demand
Press Trust of India New Delhi Barley prices weakened by Rs 10 per quintal in lacklustre trade on the wholesale grains market today owing to slackened demand against sufficient supplies.
However, other grains held steady in thin trade.
Traders said slackened demand against sufficient supplies mainly kept pressure on barley prices.
