Jowar declines on reduced offtake

In restricted activity, jowar prices declined by Rs 50 per quintal on the wholesale grains market today due to reduced industrial offtake against increased arrivals.

Traders said increased arrivals against reduced industrial offtake led to fall in wholesale jowar prices.
