Summary:During the past decade, because of the persistent deficit in India’s pulse sector, the sharp rise in pulse prices has coincided with significant changes in the nature and extent of the pulse trade.

This chapter attempts to fill this research gap. Since exports of pulses from India are comparatively small, we focus on imports.
