TIANJIN: Recently, due to the high temperature in the country, Chinese lentils have entered the off-season for sales. Due to the small quantity, there is no downward trend in prices. In the export market, importers are waiting for new lentils, with limited sales in the domestic market. Traders are in a tough spot. The 2022 lentils will be available in August, and the lentil market is currently sluggish. The port export volume has dropped by more than 40% year on year, and the domestic lentils are not very competitive. The backlog of imported lentils in the domestic market has always existed in the early stage. Exporters are looking forward to an upturn in the lentil market for the new season of 2022.

In terms of prices, farmers are reluctant to sell at low prices, and there is no downward trend in prices. Exporters predict that the market downturn will continue. Be aware of changes in ocean shipping markets and prices.
