Tianjin: The demand affects the price of organic lentils in my country, and prices are stable. Domestic and foreign markets are affected by low-priced imported lentils, and prices are hard to pick up. Exporters purchase cautiously. Imported lentils meet the needs of the domestic market, making it more challenging to sell domestic organic lentils.
Manufacturers purchase raw materials on-demand and control inventory. There is no domestic phenomenon of hoarding and squeezing domestic lentils. Traders mainly process high-quality organic lentils into small packages and enter them in major supermarkets and speciality stores or deep-processed cans. In terms of export, a small amount of high-quality organic lentils are used for export, and the export price is US$1.630-1.670 per ton. They are mainly sold to European markets like Italy and the Czech Republic. Foreign importers report that import costs are too high, and they are cautious in purchasing.
Sea freight rates remain high, booking space is complex, and the export situation is difficult to change in the short term.
