Tanzania Secures an Opportunity to Export 200,000MT of Pigeon Peas to India

Tanzania's High Commissioner to India has successfully convinced Indian authorities to allow the importation of Tanzanian pigeon peas with a nil rate of customs duty. As a result, Tanzanian traders were invited to export 200,000MT of pigeon peas to India. India produces 17MMT of perennial legume-related crops while its annual demand stands at 23MMT. The remaining deficit of 6MMT is being addressed through importation, an opportunity that Tanzanian farmers will now exploit until March 2024.
