Yangon has blamed New Delhi for restricting import of three major pulses from Myanmar, saying that the move has plunged Burmese pulses industry into chaos. In August, India announced a 200,000-ton import quota on pigeon peas and 300,000-ton quota on mung bean and green grams. The severe restriction by India limiting the amount of pea products from Myanmar has quickly and adversely affected the Burmese pulses market. The restriction would help support prices of lentils in India but would put pressure on producers in Myanmar who rely heavily on export to India. Myanmar has been exporting peas to India for nearly three decades, while India exported medicines, sugar and agricultural machinery to Myanmar. Yangon’s commodity depot has ceased operation due to India’s import quota restriction on pulses, prompting the pulse prices to plummet.
