NEW DELHI, July 11: Prices of rice basmati extended losses for the third day at the wholesale grains market today following adequate stock position against low demand.
Wheat also eased due to reduced offtake by flour mills.
Marketmen said sluggish demand against adequate stock position mainly kept up pressure on rice basmati prices.
They said reduced offtake by flour mills helped wheat prices trade lower.
