Spread the news!

Market reports from Tianjin, China, indicate a scarcity of lentils, contributing to a notable increase in prices. Despite the rising demand, domestic lentils face challenges in sales due to the backlog of imported lentils, which offer a clear price advantage. However, there is optimism as sea freight rates are gradually declining. The significant price differential between domestic and imported lentils is posing difficulties in the export market.
