This book provides an in-depth analysis of India's pulses sector in
terms of production, prices, markets, and trade. Pulses play a
pivotal role in a developing country like India for all categories
of people due to its rich protein content (double that of wheat and
three times more than that of rice). Despite being an important
crop from the point of view of food, nutrition, and environmental
security, the focus of food security policies in developing
countries has been more on wheat and rice production. This book
analyses factors influencing the supply of pulses with a greater
emphasis on government interventions such as minimum support price
(MSP) and National Food Security Mission (NFSM), the effectiveness
of MSP and factors influencing farmers' access to MSP, the import
dependency implications through a detailed import pricing behavior
of major importers of major pulses. It investigates production,
market dynamics, and trade implications related to two major
pulses, chickpea and pigeonpea, produced by all pulse-producing
States in India. Analysis of farmer's awareness of MSP and factors
influencing access to MSP are undertaken through a comprehensive
household survey from the States of Maharashtra, Karnataka, and
Madhya Pradesh. Finally, the book analyses import implications and
import pricing behaviour for all major pulses imported by India.
The book would be very useful for researchers working on the issues
of agricultural production and food security, for agriculture and
agri-business students, as well as for policy makers to understand
the inherent dynamics in the pulses sector.
