The Department of Consumer Affairs will take all necessary steps required to support Indian farmers to produce more pulses.
Importers will also be supported for seamless imports of pulses so that the pulses are available to the consumers at affordable prices, throughout 2023, Rohit Kumar Singh, Secretary, Department of Consumer Affairs, said during a meeting with pulses associations in India today.
Representatives from All India Dal Mills association, India Pulses and Grains Association, Overseas Agro Traders Association took part in meeting.
Singh further reiterated the importance of both domestic production and the imports of pulses especially Tur, Urad and Masoor.
This will keep the consistent flow of pulses imports and can address concerns related to availability.
