Hyderabad’s favourite bhutta, arrives from Karnataka, Maharashtra

Arrivals of maize (bhutta) to the city have started with the harvest of maize crop in Karnataka and Maharashtra.

The biggest market for maize is at the Darussalam road where farmers and agents from Karnataka, Maharashtra and some parts of Telangana bring in the produce and sell it at



wholesale price. A dozen of maize is sold for Rs. 70 to Rs. 90 depending upon its quality.

“Due to low harvest the supply is low and prices are high. When the arrivals increase the prices will come down. It will take another fortnight for prices to drop,” said Syed Nayeem, a trader.
