3. Introduction
•Pulses are an important commodity group of crops that
provide high quality protein.
•Although, being the largest pulse crop cultivating country
in the World, pulses share to total food grain production is
only 7-10% in the country.

4. In India, pulses can be produced with a minimum use of
resources and hence, it becomes less costly even than
animal protein.
In comparison to other vegetables, pulses are rich in
protein which are less expensive and can be cultivated as
an inter-crop and also as mixed crop.
The potential of pulses to help address future global food
security, nutrition and environmental sustainability needs
has been acknowledged through the UN declaration of the
2016 International year of pulses.

5.  Pulses are grown in all three seasons. The three
crop seasons for the commodity are:
i. Kharif – Red gram, Blackgram, Greengram,
Cowpea, Horsegram;
ii. Rabi – Gram, Lentil, Pea, Lathyrus and Rajmash
iii. Summer – Greengram, Blackgram and Cowpea

6. Types of pulses:
1.Benghal gram
2.Green gram
3.Black gram
4.Red gram
5.Lentils
6.Cow pea
7. Horse Gram

7. Importance of Pulse Crops in India
1. Pulses are rich in proteins and found to be main
source of protein to vegetarian people of India.
2. It is second important constituent of Indian diet after
cereals.
3. They can be grown on all types of soil and climatic
conditions.
4. They give ready cash to farmer.
5. They play important role in crop rotation, mixed and
intercropping, as they help maintaining the soil fertility.

8. 6. They supply additional fodder for cattle.
7. They provide raw material to various industries.
Ex. Dal industry, Roasted grain industry, Papad industry
etc.
10.The World Health Organisation estimates that up to
80% of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes and over
a third of cancers could be prevented by eliminating risk
factors, such as unhealthy diets and promoting better
eating habits, of which pulses are an essential component.

9. Production, Area and Yield of pulses
•India is the largest producer (25% of global production),
consumer (27% of world consumption) and importer (14%) of
pulses in the world.
•Pulses account for around 20 per cent of the area under
foodgrains and contribute around 7-10 per cent of the total
foodgrains production in the country.
•Though pulses are grown in both Kharif and Rabi seasons,
Rabi pulses contribute more than 60 per cent of the total
production.

pulses producer.
• Other states which cultivate pulses in larger extent include
Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Andhra
Pradesh, and Bihar.

18. Yield of Pulses
•Yield of pulses crops in India is less when compared to the
world average. However, the average yield of pulses crop in
the country has increased gradually over the period under
analysis.
•Kharif pulses give lesser yields when compared to Rabi
pulses.
•In individual cases of pulses, the rate of yield is higher in
the case of peas and beans, and followed by gram, tur,
masur, lathyrus, urad, and kulthi. Yield of moth is very less
when compared to other pulses crops.

21. Per capita availability of pulses in India :
•As a result of stagnant pulse production and continuous
increase in population, the per capita availability of
pulses has decreased considerably.
•The per capita per day availability of pulses also
decreased.
•In the year 2014, provisional per capita/year availability
is 17.2 kg which is 47.2 g per capita per day

26. EXPORT AND IMPORT
According to the Pulses Meet Resolution of India (2008),
on one hand India is the largest importer, producer and
consumer of pulses.
But, on the other hand, India is also the largest pulses
processor, as pulses exporting nations such as Myanmar,
Canada and Australia, do not have adequate pulses
processing facility.
The reason is that these countries do not have much
domestic consumption of pulses and therefore, they have
never attempted to develop domestic processing industry.
Due to this India re-exports a considerable amount of
pulses.

32. World Scenario of pulses
Production -77.473 Million Tonnes
Area -85.191Million Hectors
Yield -909 kg/ha
India is the largest producer, largest consumer and the
largest importer of pulses in the world. In India Pulses are
grown in around 24-26 million hectares of area producing
17-19 million tonnes of pulses annually. India accounts for
over one third of the total world area and over 20 per cent of
total world production.

33. Various uses of pulses
1. Almost 80% of Indian pulses are consumed either in
split form or as flour.
2. Split and whole peas are generally cooked and served
as dal along with rice or roti.
3. Chickpea flour (besan) is a major ingredient in
several Indian snack foods. Urad and mung flour also
go onto making snack foods such as pappad (a kind of
wafer).
4.Some multinational firms are now active in
manufacturing and marketing Indian type snacks.

34. Conclusion
 The production & marketing of pulses remarkably less
in the subsistance forming system.
 Therefore, there is great need for steps to be taken for
educating formers about the production, transfer of
technology through extension techniques and also create
effective infrastructure facility.
 Problems of Indian pulses economy can be solved with
the increase the sources of production. Effective and
continuous efforts are needed to increase the area under
cultivation as well as the yield of pulses. By this exports
will increase and imports decreases.
