Sluggish pulse sales to India have some analysts forecasting bourgeoning carryout while others believe there is no cause for alarm. Bulk pea sales are 35 percent below last year’s pace, while bulk lentil shipments are 42 percent behind. Sales are slow due to a myriad of issues in India and fierce competition from the Black Sea region. India is coming off a year where it produced 23 million tonnes of pulses, 20 percent higher than the previous record. It also imported staggering 6.6 million tonnes. India’s pulse warehouses are brimming with supplies.
