Winnipeg, September 29 (CNS) – A delegation of chickpea millers met this week with India’s commerce minister in a bid to open up more foreign markets to them. The millers want India to allow exports of all of its chickpeas because prices are currently lower than official support levels due to rising production. Right now kabuli chickpeas are the only varieties that are allowed to be sold to other countries.
Black beans rose one cent on the Prairies, according to the latest information from the Prairie Ag Hotwire. Bids are listed at 39 cents per pound.
Navy beans in Manitoba declined three cents during the past week and are now going for 33 cents a pound.
Kabuli chickpeas (10mm) are hanging steady at 69 to 70 cents a pound.
Bids for green peas on the Prairies were down 25 cents over the past week at C$8.00 to C$8.50 per bushel.
