Prices of pigeon peas (tur) in major East African producing nations have surged by over 10 percent due to lower-than-expected crop yields, pushing market prices to 70-75 per kg. Despite domestic drought fears in Maharashtra and Karnataka, India’s tur imports grew 44 percent to 5.79 lakh tonnes in the first seven months of 2026, with Mozambique remaining the largest supplier. Concurrently, the Solvent Extractors’ Association of India (SEA) signed a three-year statement of interest with Mozambique’s Nampula province to explore a sustainable oilseed and vegetable oil corridor. To mitigate domestic market distortions, the DGTR also recommended an anti-dumping duty of $72 per 1,000 pieces on Chinese mobile cover imports, which had captured nearly half of the domestic market and heavily suppressed local production margins.
