News Capsule: New Year Begins on a Positive Note
★ Global pulse and specialty crop markets have started 2026 with a more positive outlook compared to six months ago.
Recent talks between Canada and China, and the possibility of a meeting between their leaders, have raised hopes that the 100% import duty on peas may be removed.
★ At the same time, signals from Indian government officials have supported market sentiment. India is considering agreements to allow a fixed quantity of yellow peas to be imported every year. This has led to expectations that imports will not be banned after March 31, but may continue with import duties instead.
★ Overall, these developments have created a more optimistic start to the year for global pulse markets.
