PULSES PRODUCTION IN AFRICA
WHAT WE CAN DO FOR AFRICA??1. Government Policies on Import Duty for Pulses in India: Pulses exports out of Africa is about 200K-MT. Which is hardly 10% of total
import or 1% of total production globally. Uncertainty on import duty discourages African farmers and trade both.
2. Fumigation compliance ( by Indian Govt.) - Methyl Bromide: By and large, WROLD is discoursing the use of Methyl Bromide, and some of the
courtiers have totally banned. Whereas Indian law only permits to import if the product is fumigated with MB.
Any cargo import without such compliance is subject to penalty of USD 4/- MT. Indian Govt has partially relaxed such requirements to Canada, France and USA and we all should request for similar exemption for the import from Africa.
3. Perception of protecting farmers from cheap imports: Realization for farmers in Africa is far less compared to India. Eg. Malawi Toor @ $500.00 $/MT CNF less $150 logistic cost, less $70-80 Domestic transport & other handling costs
and farmers gets $270-280 per mt with an average yield of 300 kg per Ha, whereas, Indian farmer realization is about INR 40/- per kg (Approx. $640)
1. Realistic and accurate market information :Wrong or misleading rumors are not healthy for trade and we should aim to address this adequately. For example this year for African TOOR crop, prior to arrivals huge crop rumors were circulated whereas the actual crop and export is hardly 50%.
WHAT WE CAN EXPECT ?
In coming days, Africa would be a bread basket for the world and it has a huge potential which will essentially benefit to all of us.
