Russia has secured the right to regularly export lentils to India after a process initiated by Rosselkhoznadzor in late 2020. Following compliance with India's quarantine phytosanitary requirements and successful trial batches in 2022, India authorized the regular supply of Russian lentils. By September 22, 2024, Russia had supplied 545 thousand tons of leguminous crops to India, marking a significant increase from the previous year.
