DGFT extends Free Import Policy for Pigeon Peas for 1 Year

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has announced the extension of the free import policy for pigeon peas for one year. The decision is aimed at ensuring a stable supply of pulses, which are essential for food security. Pigeon peas, a key source of protein in India, have faced price volatility due to climatic conditions and supply chain disruptions. By continuing the free import policy, the government aims to stabilize domestic prices and meet the demand for pulses. This move is expected to support farmers and consumers by ensuring availability at reasonable prices.
