The Pulse of Pulses: Story of Pigeonpea
David Bergvinson, DG, ICRISAT
International Trade Centre (ITC) and Indian Pulses and Grains Council (IPGA)
Key reasons for encouraging Trade of PulsesInnovations
• Improved varieties that integrate production and grain quality traits forincreased productivity and profitability of pulse production
• Mechanization of production and processing to increase profitability andtimely operations
New jobs and economic growth• Create new jobs in pulse value chains to increase quality of production,
reduce losses and realize value addition in rural communitiesBringing new competitive dynamics into the economic system
• ICT-enabled price discovery and trade to enhance value chain logistics,reduce transaction costs, enable traceability for quality control, agreedgrades and standards and automated validation to ensure equitable andmarkets for producers and value chain actors
Promoting the research-innovation system• Demand-driven research driven by market- and farmer-requirements
Bringing improved nutrition into modern food systems• Smart Food campaign is creating awareness among consumers about
nutritional, environmental and economic benefits of pulses withinmodern diets to address malnutrition, sustainable agriculture and ruraldevelopment
Story of Pigeonpea: Innovation to Stabilize Pulses
Volatility in pigeonpea production is not good for farmers who are out of phase and creates supply problems for processors

Quality Standards: Pigeonpea Production
Desirable Traits (Properties of crop considered during selection)Test weight: 9-11 gmsColour of Seed: BrownNo. of Seed/Pod: 5-7nosProtein Content: 18-22% (Swaminathan and Jain, 1973)
Processing(Maximum recovery of consumable dal after milling)Dal Recovery (Easily removable husk): >70%Low processing loss (during de-husking and Splitting) (Saxena et al., 2010)

Journey to Pulse Profitability – for All
Ingredients for Success:
Seed, Systems, Capacity, Policies & PartnershipsMajor gaps: ;• Disconnect between quality seed demand and quality seed available/access• No premium for quality grain marketed at the producer level• Lack of market information/market intelligence• Grades and standards are not well developed based on market needs• Little/no mechanization in farm operations, harvesting and post-harvest handling
Opportunities: • Huge scope for seed production and delivery of market-preferred varieties (PPP)• Introduction of small scale machinery for timely planting of pulses, threshing,
community level processing for value addition (e.g. Dhal)• Introduction of grades and standards and premium for quality produce based
(digital imagery to provide objective pricing)• Promotion of Smart Food to expand domestic and regional markets, in addition to
international exports in order to stabilize prices • Creation of commodity markets and proper storage facilities to redcue losses,
increase quality (and value) and incentivize quality through eMarkets and warehouse receipts
