Lentils: Heavy rains affecting the crop
★ Rainfall is impacting the crop, with potential effects on quality.
★ Early-planted crops will be more affected, while later-planted crops will face less impact. Grain may become discolored or stained.
★ Export demand remains very weak.
★ Large green lentils are priced at \$0.31–\$0.33/lb, small green lentils (old and new) at \$0.27–\$0.28/lb, and red lentils at \$0.28/lb.

Impact on India
★ According to exclusive information available with IGrain India, from April to July, India imported 171,000 tons of lentils, compared to 281,000 tons last year — indicating a decline in lentil imports.
★ With Australia’s new crop still 1.5–2 months away, and considering the upcoming festive demand, prices may find support while demand is awaited.
