Indian tur market
The domestic consumption of tur in India is estimated at around 3.4 million tons. Clearly, the production in the country is not sufficient to satisfy the domestic demand and hence it has to rely on imports of the crop. India imports its unfulfilled demand from Myanmar and Tanzania. The imports of the country sums up to 4 to 5 lakh tons annually. Even though India cannot fulfill its domestic demand, it seldom exports pigeon peas in small quantities to the following countries
- United Arab Emirates
- United States of America
- Singapore
- Saudi Arabia
India has a long chain for the highly fragmented market for tur. The prices of pigeon pea in India are based on the Minimum Support Price set by the government. The tur imports are allowed in the country without any import restrictions.
Market Influencing Factors
- Weather conditions in the country
- Hoarding and Black-marketing
- Crop situation in the exporting countries especially Myanmar
- Prices of the other major competitive pulses
