Production
Significant price variations in pulses are observed on a year-on-compared to relatively milder alternating movement between harvesting and lean season within a year. This may be attributed to the fact that lagged effect of both instances of bumper production as well as decline in production on prices are often observed.
Key emphasis should be laid down in stabilising domestic production levels in a sustainable manner with a balance between price and non-price interventions ensuring adequate incentives to the farmer.
Scientific storage and its decentralisation is key infrastructure to ensure smooth availability round the year and stability in prices.
