Imported Lentils Dominate Market
Exporters report a prevailing trend of imported lentils dominating the market in Tianjin. The shortage of domestically produced lentils has led to a surge in prices. This shortage has made the export market challenging for domestic producers.
Price Surge Due to Shortage
With a serious shortage of domestically produced lentils, prices are on the rise. The backlog of imported low-priced lentil inventory coupled with slow sales in the domestic market has created a price advantage for imported lentils, making them more attractive to both domestic and foreign buyers.
Sales Challenges for Domestic Lentils
The abundance of imported lentils at competitive prices has made it difficult for domestically produced lentils to find buyers in both domestic and foreign markets. As a result, exporters are facing challenges in selling domestically produced lentils amidst the dominance of imported varieties.
The current market dynamics in Tianjin reflect a significant reliance on imported lentils due to the shortage of domestically produced ones. This imbalance has resulted in rising prices and sales difficulties for domestic producers.
