Pulses play an important role in Ethiopia’s food security and economy. Production is estimated at 2.5 million metric tons in 16/17 (Jun-Jul).

Colombian demand for U.S. pulses (dry peas, lentils and chickpeas) has been constrained because of the competition with Canada, which entered into a free trade agreement with Colombia in 2011.

Peru’s calendar year (CY) 2015 pea and lentil imports are forecast at 73,000 metric tons (MT), up 16 percent compared to 2014.
