TIANJIN: Exporters reported that inquiries for lentils in production areas have increased recently due to a serious shortage of domestic lentils. Coupled with transportation difficulties, prices are currently rising, making it even more difficult for traders to source raw materials. However, the export volume is very small due to weak market demand. The export volume of the port has decreased year on year, the domestic lentil competitiveness is not strong, and the export market has not improved. Export orders cannot meet the production needs of exporters, and manufacturers focus on the domestic market. In terms of prices, farmers are reluctant to sell at low prices, and prices will not drop for the time being. Exporters predict that the market downturn will continue. Be aware of changes in shipping and market prices.
