India continues to rely on pulse imports to meet its domestic needs despite a number of initiatives, including various farmer incentives. In 2023–24, imports of pulses nearly doubled to USD 3.74 billion. Although the official number is yet unknown, estimations indicate that sales exceeded 45 lakh tons in the recently ended fiscal year 2023–24 compared to 24.5 lakh tonnes the previous year. According to government sources, the government is discussing extended agreements for pulse imports with prospective markets including Brazil and Argentina in order to meet local demand and control costs. Brazil will supply more than 20,000 tons of urad, and final agreements regarding the import of arhar from Argentina are almost complete. Additionally, the government has agreements with Tanzania, Mozambique, and Myanmar to import pulses. The surge in imports in recent months is to boost domestic supply and keep prices in check.

Kharif Pulses Production Expected to Decline in India

This year (FY24), it is anticipated that Kharif Production will decrease from 76.21 lakh tonnes to 71.18 lakh tonnes, Urad Production will decrease from 17.68 lakh tonnes to 15.15 lakh tonnes, and Moong Production will decrease from 17.18 lakh tonnes to 14.05 lakh tonnes. However, the fact that the sowing area for pulses has decreased over the last three to four years—from 307.31 lakh hectares in 2021–2022 to 257.85 lakh hectares in 2023–2024 despite an upward tendency is another cause for concern. Sowing area decreased by 16 percent in two years, while production decreased by nearly 14 percent. The Reserve Bank of India has also noted that the cost of pulses is a significant factor in inflation figures and that pressures on food prices are making it difficult to lower inflation to the target of 4%. India is a major producer and consumer of pulses, and it imports some of the food it needs to consume. India is a major consumer of tur, kabuli chana, masur, urad, and chana.
