News Capsule: International Pulses Market
Peas
★ Global field pea markets ended the week on a firmer note, supported by growing concerns over crop prospects in parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
★ Excess soil moisture in several Canadian growing regions has raised the risk of disease outbreaks, which could adversely affect both yields and crop quality.
★ According to the latest estimates from the European Commission, overall European field pea production remains largely unchanged. However, unusually high temperatures and dry weather have led to a sharp decline in field pea yields in France and Spain.

Lentils
★ Global lentil markets closed the week on a weaker note following the completion of seeding across the Northern Hemisphere.
★ Competition in the green lentil market is intensifying, with importers in the Indian subcontinent reporting that Russian-origin green lentils are being offered at significant discounts compared with Canadian supplies.
★ While this has had little impact on nominal asking prices for large and medium green lentils, it has provided importers of small green lentils with a more competitively priced alternative.
