Russia, which is considering diversifying into urad and tur production, wants to strengthen pulse trade cooperation with India, the government said on Tuesday.

Are you looking to import or export pulses? The recent decline in mandi prices of pulses, driven by robust imports and a rise in kharif sowing, is expected to impact both domestic and global markets.

It is anticipated that this move by India's central government will assist importers in bringing more Kabuli chana (chickpeas) into the country in advance of the festival season.

Constituting more than 30% of Myanmar's total agricultural output, beans and pulses are the nation’s second-most-cultivated crop after the production of rice. Myanmar is the second largest global producer of pigeon peas in the world following India.

Amidst the ongoing diplomatic tussle between India and Canada, there have been speculations on the tightened supply of red lentils (Masur Dal) from Canada, as India is the major importer of Canada’s red lentils.

The government of India decided to continue its stock limit decision on tur and urad till December 31st of this year. On September 25, the Food and Consumer Affairs Ministry issued a notification to limit the stocks for wholesalers and big chain retailers from 200 tons to 50 tons.
