News Capsule: International Pulses Market Update (April 23, 2026 | CNF USD/ton): Mixed trend, weak demand in India
★ Global pulses markets showed a mixed trend on April 23, 2026, with slight softness and stability across key commodities.
★ Black matpe (urad) remained under pressure—Brazil to India declined from 900 to 890 USD/ton, Myanmar FAQ from 840 to 835, and SQ from 940 to 935 USD/ton.
★ Desi chana (Australia) eased from 580 to 575 USD/ton.
★ Kabuli chana (42–44 count) showed strength—India to Turkey increased from 1160 to 1185 USD/ton.
★ Pigeon pea (tur) showed a mixed trend—Mozambique rose from 680 to 685, Myanmar from 825 to 830 USD/ton, while Malawi remained steady at 615 USD/ton.
★ Yellow pea (Canada) remained stable at 400 USD/ton.
★ Red lentils declined—Canada dropped from 630 to 615 and Australia from 610 to 600 USD/ton.
★ Overall, comfortable global supply is keeping pressure on prices, with only selective demand support in some segments.
★ From India’s perspective, domestic demand remains weak. Despite lower international prices, imports are not picking up as local market prices are at par or even lower than the landed import cost. This is limiting trade margins, keeping the market in a weak, wait-and-watch mode.
