Due to competition between the two commodity companies for the supply of pigeon pea (tur) from Mozambique, its prices are likely to remain elevated despite a possible increase in imports from Myanmar. The split between trading companies Export Trading Group (ETG) and Royal Group Limitada has caused disruptions in the supply of pigeon peas from Mozambique in recent months.
Mozambique is Africa’s largest fur producer and accounts for approximately 40 percent of the region’s supplies to India, the largest producer and consumer of pulses.
