Rangoon. Ahead of the upcoming harvest season in Myanmar, India's northeastern neighbor, producers are selling their pulse stocks in bulk, providing exporters with an opportunity to secure shipments of urad, tur dal, and mung dal. Demand remains strong in major importing countries, while pulse prices remain subdued.

According to available data, Myanmar exported 66,047 tons of urad, 38,175 tons of tur dal, and 12,680 tons of mung dal during November 2025. India, Pakistan, and Vietnam were the top three buyers of urad, while Vietnam, China, and Indonesia were the top importers of mung dal.

India also accounted for the majority of tur dal imports. India was also the leading buyer of urad. It should be noted that mung beans are not imported into India as it has been banned since February 2022. India accounts for the largest export of black gram and pigeon pea from Myanmar.

According to available data, Myanmar exported a total of 66,047 tons of black gram in November 2025, of which 51,880 tons were shipped to India. Additionally, 3,275 tons of black gram were shipped to Pakistan and 3,120 tons to Vietnam.

Similarly, Myanmar shipped 38,175 tons of black gram in November, of which 38,125 tons were exported to India and 50 tons to other countries.

Regarding mung beans, Myanmar's total exports in November 2025 reached 12,680 tons, of which 5,430 tons were shipped to Vietnam, 3,098 tons to China, and 1,715 tons to Indonesia.

Following the sowing of pulse crops in Myanmar, estimates of production are now underway. The pigeon pea crop will begin to mature next month, and if weather conditions remain favorable, production may increase slightly.

The case of black gram is more complicated, as there is a significant difference between government and commercial production estimates.
