Mandalay. Urad, Tuvar and Moong are being regularly exported to various countries of the world from India's northeastern neighboring country - Myanmar. Urad and Tuvar are being imported on a large scale from there to India, but the import of Moong is closed because there is a ban on it.

According to the available data, during the current year, 73,801 tonnes of Urad was exported from Myanmar in January, which after decreasing to 51948 tonnes in February, increased to 79,587 tonnes in March and reached 87,492 tonnes in April. In May 2024, this export crossed the limit of one lakh tonnes for the first time and reached 1,02,662 tonnes.

Similarly, the export of pigeon pea (tuvar) from Myanmar improved from 31029 tonnes in January 2024 to 33388 tonnes in February, but after falling to 30056 tonnes in March and slipping to 27795 tonnes in April, it jumped to 40572 tonnes in May.

With the arrival of new goods and strong demand from India, the export of tuvar from Myanmar is likely to increase in the coming months.

It is worth noting that most of the urad and tuvar exports from Myanmar are to India, while moong is exported to some other countries including China.

As far as moong is concerned, its export from Myanmar was 33601 tonnes in January 2024, which jumped to 64371 in February and increased to 95063 tonnes in March, after which it decreased to 71340 tonnes in April and fell to 64852 tonnes in May 2024.

The import of moong has been banned in India since February 2022. On the other hand, tuvar and urad are being imported duty free and Myanmar remains its biggest supplier.
