The pulse export situation from Myanmar to India in January 2025 shows strong trade flows, particularly in urad and tuvar. With over 1.05 lakh tonnes of pulses exported, the figures highlight the ongoing demand from India.

It's notable that while urad and tuvar see consistent export to India, moong is primarily directed to other countries like China, Thailand, and Europe.

The drop in prices for tur and urad due to increased availability and Indian imports, along with Myanmar's new crop coming in, signals that the market is adjusting to both supply and demand.

The forecast of a 3 lakh tonne tur production in Myanmar this year suggests that exports of tur will likely pick up speed in the coming months.

Overall, the pulse export situation appears to be stable, with Myanmar continuing to play a significant role in supplying pulses to India, especially after a bit of a slowdown in the last quarter of 2024.

The price dynamics in the region will be key to watch as they are influenced by India's demand and local production levels.
