TIANJIN, China: Market sources reveal that China’s lentil reserves have reached a low point, prompting a reliance on imported lentils to fulfill demand. As the Chinese New Year draws near, producers of raw materials are observing holidays, further tightening the supply. Additionally, escalating sea freight rates are contributing to a surge in export costs. The price gap between domestic and foreign lentils is posing challenges in the export market. Moreover, domestic organic lentils are in short supply and come at a higher price, primarily catering to the domestic market with fewer opportunities for export.
