What’s next?
★ Lentil imports into India have been steadily declining over the past two months, mainly due to reduced shipments from Australia and Canada.
★ Fresh arrivals from both countries are expected to begin only after October, and the long shipping route further delays the supply.
★ With declining imports and steady domestic demand, there is a possibility of further price increase in the coming weeks.
