ARTICALS 4 #Pulses Market Update

India’s kharif pulses sowing has picked up pace, with the area under cultivation rising 11% year-on-year to 262.15 lakh hectares. As of early July, pulses sowing stood at 21.1 lakh hectares—up from 15.4 lakh hectares during the same period last year. The early momentum suggests a promising start to the season. However, even with the increase in sowing, India’s dependence on imported pulses remains high, raising concerns about the impact on domestic farmers.
