EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
India is the world's biggest merchant (import) of pulses (peas, lentils and beans). In 2013,
Canada was India's significant provider of these produces and delivered an expected CAD 740
million-worth of them to the nation. Canada is India's biggest provider of peas, chickpeas and

2
lentils. Around 50 for every penny of Canadian pea generation happens in Saskatchewan, with
around two million sections of land dedicated to developing the product, as indicated by
Saskatchewan Pulse Growers.

An unexpected move by a noteworthy client has made worries for Canadian agriculturists and
industry groups. India's choice to force a precarious tax on pea imports could imperil $1-billion
(U.S.) worth of pulses exchanging with Canada, which may cause farmers there to trim their pea
grounds by almost 33%.

Canadian farmers are hoping to decrease arrive gave to pea creation in the wake of India's new
duty. This comes when the Canadian business is as of now in transactions with India over the
fumigation of sent out item. In the previous three years, Canada has traded over a million tons of
peas to the nation with an estimation of $548 million of every 2015.The correctional levies are
the most noteworthy under WTO rules, while before there was no duty on pea imports.

The Indian government has forced a powerful and astonishing 50 for every penny duty on pea
imports to add to as of now stewing rural exchange pressures.

The pea duty issue goes ahead best of the uncertain fumigation issue, with India not yet
stretching out an exclusion to bug medicines for Canadian imports that has been set up for a long
time.

DETAILED FINDINGS:
India's administration reported a multiplying of its import levy on wheat to 20% this
week, while including import tax dry pea imports of 50%, depicted as the most extreme
reasonable duty, with a specific end goal to support inward costs.

3
This takes after record imports of 3.17 million metric huge amounts of peas in 2016-17, a
41% expansion from the year earlier, alongside imports of 5.75 mmt of wheat.


The subsequent increment in cost of imported peas will have a noteworthy negative effect
on pea exchange to India.
Canada is India's biggest provider of pulses and India is Canada's biggest market for peas,
representing over 40% of Canada's pea sends out.

India forced a 50-per-penny import impose on peas, as pulses costs fell underneath their
administration set help levels in light of record yield.

4
The obligation is relied upon to lift local pulses costs and spur farmers in India, the
world's greatest purchaser of pulses, to support beat plantings, diminishing import
necessities in 2018.

Heartbeats, a shabby wellspring of protein, are a staple piece of the Indian eating
regimen. Canada is the world's best pulses edit exporter. The transient move to lift Indian
market costs could affect India's long haul nourishment security needs.

The tax on peas and fears that India may force a comparable climb on red lentils could
check spring plantings in Canada of the two products by 30 for every penny and 35 for
every penny separately.

Canadian yellow pea costs have drooped since India's tax declaration to between $5.50
(Canadian) and $6 a bushel from amongst $7.50 and $8.

Canada needs the import obligation evacuated, however New Delhi is focused on
multiplying Indian agriculturists' livelihoods and lessening imports.

"Imports are not feasible subsequent to including the obligation. Shipments will fall
essentially in coming months," said Pravin Dongre, director of the India Pulses and
Grains Association.

A significant part of the land that Canadian ranchers already planted with peas is
probably going to be sown this spring with wheat, canola and soybeans, said Chris
Beckman, oilseed expert at Canada's Agriculture Department.

The levy is probably not going to end all pea exchange with India, yet it will pointedly
lessen imports.

CONCLUSION

India for the most part imports peas from Canada, Russia, the United States and France. A year
ago the nation's pea imports bounced up 41 percent from the earlier year to a record of 3.17
million tons, as indicated by reports

5
The main place where there is enthusiasm for Canadian peas is in the U.S. The U.S. pea trim is
during this time because of the dry season.

At the present time (the U.S. is) purchasing yellow peas from southeast Saskatchewan simply
because that beginning is nearer to the U.S.

The Canadian Grain Commission, which tracks mass fares, pegs pea shipments at around
850,000, down from 1.4 million at a similar point a year ago.

Mass lentil shipments are at 88,200 tons, down from 307,300 tons a year ago.

RECOMMENDATION

Canadian exporters either need to have their shipments disinfected with methyl bromide in
Singapore or pay five times the ordinary examination charge upon landing in India, which adds
up to about $15 per ton.

Since India is all around loaded with heartbeats, Canada's fares are now down a great deal from
earlier years.
