Canada Oct-Feb masur export down 70% at 180,700 tn

Exports of masur from Canada since the start of the season in October till February fell 69.6% on year to 180,700 tn. A 30% import duty on masur imposed by India in December, one of the largest buyers, may have led to the fall in exports from Canada. However, exports in February surged 243.6% on month to 51,200 tn. The rise in exports in February has been attributed to robust demand from China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
