Niti Aayog recommends strategies to double India’s pulses production by 2047 and self-sufficient by 2030

The report stated that projections are based on estimates both in collective and crops. Individual crop forecasts are closely compatible with total projections by 32.1 mt and 50.7 mt by 2047.
The report made various suggestions to obtain self -sufficiency in the pulse sector. Targeted crop-bilge includes space receiving and diversification, adoption of customized technologies for various agricultural ecological sub-regions, high quality seed distribution and emphasis on treatment kits focusing on 111 high potential zones.
The report also emphasizes that directing the transformation of data leadership through the adoption of proactive climate and comprehensive monitoring and decision support system is very important for Aatmanirbharta.
The convergence of these approaches strengthens the validity of the estimates and added. Niti Aayog, reported that “the estimated by 2030 and reached 26.06 mt in 2022 by 34.45 mt and 51.57 mt by 2047.” The report also examined the demand-treatment gap of pulses at the national level. He said that projections were prepared after creating factors such as gross production, imports, exports, stock changes and use for seed, feed and wasting.
In the last decade, the report shared that the average share of seeds, feeds and waste is 11.2 percent of gross production used to estimate the supply. Based on this, the pulse supply is foreseen as 30.6 mt by 2030 and 45.8 mt until 2047.
Under the scenario of household/static approach, the report foresee much in the coming years. India is expected to see an excess of 3.79 mt, which can rise to 16.48 mt by 2047 until 2030.
On the request side, the report emphasized the importance of promoting healthy consumption in line with the suggestions of ICMR. He said that this requires raising awareness about the nutritional value of pulses, encouraging them to be included in diets and addressing consumer preferences.
In the report, he adopted a comprehensive approach to both supply and demand, and said that India could close the gaps in the coups industry and provide a sustainable future for this key commodity.
