CACP Recommends Import Curbs on Pulses to Protect Farmers
The CACP wants to limit the amount of cheap pulses coming into India.
They suggest stopping the import of yellow peas and adding taxes to chickpeas and lentils.
This is because the current cheap imports are hurting the prices farmers get for their crops.
This move is aimed at helping local farmers sell their produce at better prices.
CACP recommends a ban on yellow peas imports.
CACP suggests high tariffs on chana (chickpea) and masoor (red lentil).
These measures aim to restrict pulse imports.
Cheap imports affect domestic market prices.
Government re-imposed 10% duty on small-sized chana from April 2025.
