Maize weakens on subdued demand

Maize prices declined by Rs 5 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale grains market today owing to subdued demand against adequate supplies.
However, other grains moved in a tight range in scattered deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said subdued demand against adequate supplies from producing regions mainly helped maize prices to trade lower.
In the national capital, maize weakened by Rs 5 to Rs 1,420-1,425 per quintal.
