Winnipeg, August 29 (CNS Canada) – Following are a few highlights in the Canadian and world pulse markets on Monday, August 29.
– Pulse acreages are up this kharif season in India, already increasing 40.22 per cent from this time last year, according to reports.
– The government of India has decided to further import 90,000 tonnes of pulses to boost domestic supply and control prices, according to reports.
– A July forecast for Australia’s chickpea harvest this year is estimating an 86 per cent increase from June’s predictions for desi chickpea acreage, according to reports. Agronomists and traders alike are questioning the estimated 1.073 hectares, believing they are too aggressive and not a proper reflection of what has really been planted.
– Top end green pea prices remained steady at C$8.00 per bushel in Western Canada, according to Prairie Ag Hotwire.
