India's Pulses Import Value Plummets Due to Weak Demand

India's Pulses Import Value Plummets Due to Weak Demand

India is buying fewer pulses (like beans and lentils) from other countries.

This is because people in India aren't buying as much, and prices are going down worldwide.

From April to August, the amount spent on imported pulses dropped by a lot compared to last year.

Imports of many types of pulses, like urad and yellow peas, have decreased.

However, India did import more tur.

This year's local harvest might be affected by extra rain, possibly impacting crops like moong and urad.
