OTTAWA, Ontario (RFD-TV) — Canadian pulse exports remain strong to India, even as trade with China faces a complete halt under a 100 percent tariff. However, market analysts warn that this could soon shift, impacting growers across North America.
Lyndsey Smith with RealAg Radio says current trade flows highlight the importance of maintaining stable export relationships — particularly between the U.S. and Canada. She notes that any change in India’s import demand or policy could have ripple effects on pricing and logistics for both countries.
Smith also points out that the pulse market remains a valuable segment of Canadian agriculture, contributing significantly to farm income and rural economies.
