Pulses Production: The prices of food items are increasing in the country. Prices are usually high during the monsoon season. But now the good thing is that inflation will not bother people for long. Actually, there is good monsoon rain in the pulse producing areas, due to which the area under cultivation has increased and production is likely to increase.
According to the data, the area under cultivation of pulse products has increased by one and a half times compared to last year. That is, the production of pulses is likely to increase in the near future, while the supply of imported varieties of pulses is also starting from August, all these indications give hope that the prices of pulses may come down soon.
