A large part of pulses’ production in countries like Myanmar, Canada and Australia is meant for India. Ending imports won’t be easy.

food inflation in India as analysts track food inflation with thali prices. Persistent food inflation has made the RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) hard in large measure due to prices of vegetables which are perishable in nature and also subject to vagaries of weather which have been made worse by climate change. Another item on the thali which keeps its price high is pulses, especially tur (also called arhar) dal which India imports in large measure. In June, prices of pulses surged 21.64% year-on-year, more than double the 9.21% increase seen a year ago, according to government data. India imported all major pulses, including tur, urad, masoor, chana and yellow peas, in 2023-24 due to low domestic production on account of erratic rainfall, spending around $3.74 billion during the financial year.
