The imports of pulses are expected to drop to just one million tonnes in the coming year

New delhi date. 14 February 2020, Friday

Due to the government's measures to curb domestic production and purchase from abroad, imports of Chana pulses such as chana in India are expected to fall by 1 percent to 1 million tonnes.

While India is a major consumer of protein-rich pulses, its low imports will support domestic pulses prices, but it will be hit by farmers from countries like Canada, Russia, Myanmar and Australia.

India's imports of pulses are expected to increase threefold to 3 lakh tonnes in the next financial year ending March, said India Pulse and Grain Association Chairman Jitu Bheda.

The government of India filed import quotas for pulses like yellow peas, green chickpeas and chickpeas, due to huge imports of pulses in domestic prices due to huge imports of pulses in 2-3 years.

According to government quotas, traders can import only one lakh tonnes of pulses, but traders have applied for more than 1 lakh tonnes of pulses by applying in various courts. Trade and industry sources said that the authorities have removed the flaws so that traders do not import more pulses than quota.

Next year, traders will be able to import only one million tonnes of pulses, he said. Fifty percent of India's pulses imports are yellow peas.

The price of chickpeas is currently spoken at around Rs 5 per kg, which is much lower than the price fixed by the government. As a result, the government may be forced to tell organizations like NAFED to buy goods from farmers.
