I am sure, we all agree, that this year has been rather eventful for the pulses sector with policy changes and stock limits being imposed, COVID-19 pandemic affecting container availability as well as increasing ocean freights.
Then, though the monsoons started-off at a good pace, in the third week of June, it halted in its progress across central India, resulting in a three-week delay in rainfall during a crucial sowing season. With the monsoon picking up pace again and covering the whole country, kharif crop sowing is also showing signs of recovery.
According to Agriculture Ministry data, the total sown area in pulses, compared to last year, Moong is 10% lower, and Urad is 9% while Tur sowing, on the other hand, is proceeding briskly, with a 4% gain in crop area so far.
In this webinar, with the presence of stalwarts like Dr. S K Malhotra and Mr. Nirav Desai, we hope to be able to present both, Government and Trade perspectives on the sowing scenario and Dr. D S Pai of IMD will present an overview on the progress of monsoon as well as how is the weather expected to unravel in the following months.
On the trade side, we have domain experts for Tur, Urad, and Moong to present an overview on the carry-forward stocks, price outlook, expected production, anticipated imports, etc.
All in all, we believe this is going to be a webinar that will provide in-depth information covering key aspects of the trade – production and demand/supply. We are sure that you will not want to miss an opportunity to listen to the experts sharing valuable information and data – data that will help you take informed business/trade decisions.
