“Australians have been trying to talk down the [desi] crop for months but they're not getting any cooperation from farmers!”
“Unless Mexico retaliates, beans will keep flowing into Mexico as long as they need them from the US.”
“Both the US and Canada are facing huge challenges in chickpeas, peas, and both red and green lentils from Russia and other Eastern European origins”

Brian on North American pulses

North American yields have turned out better than people were hoping and supply may see quite an increase. For example, combined North American lentils are up 800 KMT over last year. Peas are up 200 KMT but have been trending downwards overall. Chickpea production is up a lot – 200 KMT YoY.
