In a first, China’s imports of pulses from India top $100 million.
Apr 05, 2023

China has stepped up purchases of pulses such as kidney beans and Kabuli chana (chickpea) from India in recent years to meet its growing demand. In the 2022-23 fiscal, China emerged as the biggest buyer of Indian pulses, displacing UAE, with the import value exceeding $100 million for the first time.
 
APEDA data reveal that Chinese imports of Indian pulses stood at $102.41 million during the April-January period of 2022-23 over $89.03 million in the entire 2021-22, a 15 per cent growth. During this period, India’s overall pulses exports increased to $476 million, an increase of 25 per cent over $379 million in the previous fiscal.
 
Chinese purchases of Indian pulses in sizeable quantities, which started during the Covid pandemic, have sustained and grown multi-fold over the past couple of years. There is a five-fold increase in the volume of pulses exports to China from India over the past four years, while in terms of value, they have more than trebled during the last three years ( see table).
 
Changing food habits
'China is coming up as a very big consumer of pulses in the past few years. Their food habits are changing and consumption is increasing year by year,' said Harsha Rai, Vice President – Sales at Mayur Global Corporation, an international broker of pulses.
