Local traders report that there is hardly any buying interest, especially on the domestic market, neither for roasted kernels nor for the baking industry. Export demand looks a little better, but as the new crop is large and there are still carry-over stocks from the old crop, there are more than enough goods available and prices are under pressure accordingly. A large part of the new crop is currently still being stored by farmers
