Pakistan: Pulses Outlook

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   PK2023-0015

Peas, beans, and lentils are staple protein sources in the Pakistani diet. Eaten with either flat bread (daal-roti) or rice (daal-chaawal), the demand for these pulses is growing as inflation leads consumers to search for alternatives to animal protein. Imports are forecast to reach over 1 million tons next year, and opportunities exist for U.S. exporters.
