Lentil Markets

Marlene Boersch of Mercantile Consulting gave a lentil outlook presentation at the Pulse & Special Crops Convention September 27, 2023.

• ​The globe is in a 14 year low for carry in for lentils. 
  
• The Indian crop may be low, needing imports but they were worried that some impact may come from political tensions between Canada and India. India still needs to feed people and ahead of an election cycle they will be buying so no matter where it comes from it will support lentil prices.
  
• India, Turkey and UAE buy 65% of Canadian Lentils.
