India is facing challenges in achieving its pulse production targets for 2024-25, set at 29.9 million tonnes, due to a combination of factors including the need for well-distributed monsoon rainfall, increased seeded area, and above-average yields. There are concerns that climate change and the saturation of planted area for pulses could further hinder production. The current weather outlook is favorable, with the India Meteorological Department predicting 106 percent of the long-term average rainfall during the monsoon season. If achieved, these production targets could potentially impact Canadian growers by influencing India's import policies. However, there is skepticism about the government's targets, given that actual production has consistently fallen short in recent years. Additionally, demand for pulses is expected to surpass production, leading to increased dependence on imports.
