Asia as the next big destination for Australian white lupins

Lupins could be the next big pulse export for Australia with a consultant to the Australian Export Grains Innovation Centre (AEGIC) saying they have an ideal fit in Asian dairy and livestock markets, especially for their high protein percentage.

The pulse was once Australia's major grain legume crop and is still the most widely adapted pulse in Western Australia, where the largely acidic soils do not suit other types of legume crops such as chickpeas or lentils.
