Winnipeg, October 25 (CNS) – India’s Agriculture Minister has made a bold statement in regards to the country’s pulse industry. Radha Mohan Singh announced his country would not need to import any pulses in two years’ time as India will soon grow enough to satisfy domestic demand. The country grew just under 23.00 million tonnes of pulses in 2016/17. That compares to just 16.35 million the year before.
The minister of Russia’s energy department says he doesn’t think Turkey will carry through with proposed stringent rules on Russian exports of dry peas and other crops. Just a few days ago, Turkey announced new requirements would be placed on imports of certain Russian agricultural imports. However, Minister Alexander Novak says he has reversed an earlier decision where Russia blocked a shipment of tomatoes from Turkey. The 50,000 tonne load will now be accepted.
