Impact of the Price Crash:
★ Farmers are struggling to recover their production costs when selling their harvest.
★ Pulse millers are facing inventory losses, having stocked up when prices were higher.
★ While consumers are seeing some relief, the overall rural economy is under strain.
★ This sharp fall in prices is being attributed to increased domestic production, softened global prices, and a rise in imports.
★ If the trend continues, the government may need to step in with procurement support or export incentives to stabilize the market.
