Tianjin: The price of organic lentils in China is stable in the region, the trade is over, the difficulty of raw material procurement is reduced, and the export market is still affected by the low-priced imported lentils. Exporters purchase carefully.

Imported lentils meet the needs of the domestic market, making it more challenging to sell domestic organic lentils. Manufacturers purchase raw materials on-demand and control inventory. At present, there is no domestic phenomenon of hoarding and squeezing domestic lentils. Traders mainly process high-quality organic lentils into small packages and enter significant supermarkets and speciality stores or deep-processed cans.

In terms of export, a small amount of high-quality organic lentils are used for export, and the export price is US$1.640-1.680 per ton, mainly in European markets such as Italy and the Czech Republic. Foreign importers report that import costs are too high, and they are cautious in purchasing. Sea freight rates remain high, booking space is complex, and the export situation is difficult to change in the short term.
