Pulses import likely to drop due to good monsoon and higher imports last year

The import of pulses in India was expected to decline to 40-45 lakh tonnes from last year’s 47 lakh tonnes due to a good monsoon and increased production, according to IPGA. Experts have warned that without policy changes, imports could rise to 80-100 lakh tonnes by 2030. Prices in wholesale markets have dropped recently.
