Global Lentil Market – Production, Consumption, Export and Import Trends

Lentils are high-protein and high-fiber edible legumes that are widely cultivated across the Indian sub-continent, West Asia, and East and North Africa. They come in a wide variety of flavors, colors and sizes, and are chiefly used in the preparation of stews and soups. Lentils are a rich source of protein and complex carbohydrates owing to which they help in boosting the metabolism and burn body fat. Some of the most popular lentils available in the market include green, red, brown, puy, beluga and yellow. They are commonly consumed as a staple food in countries across North Africa and Asia, such as India, Nepal, Algeria and Morocco.

Lentils play a significant role in enhancing the overall health of the soil by providing various nutrients post-cultivation including nitrogen, carbon and organic matter. They also offer optimum human and animal nutrition such as maintaining a healthy nervous system and preventing atherosclerosis. Apart from this, lentils help in controlling diabetes, boosting metabolism, preventing cancer, improving digestion and lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases. According to IMARC Group, the global lentil market reached a volume of 6.3 Million Tons in 2018. It is further projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% during 2019-2024, reaching the volume of 8.4 Million Tons by 2024.

Production Trends

Lentils are well adapted to various soil types and are considered a drought-resistant crop. This makes it possible for these crops to be harvested widely across the globe. However, they are majorly produced in Canada, Turkey, the United States, China, India, Australia, Nepal and Ethiopia at present. Unlike countries in North America and Asia, production in Ethiopia differs from region to region on account of varied environment and biotic factors. In this region, lentils are categorized as cash crops which attract higher prices than other cereals and pulses.

Other than this, they are also used in the snack food industry for preparing soups, stews and ready-to-eat food items.

Currently, Canada, Turkey, Australia, and the United States are some of the countries with the largest export volumes. On the other hand, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Egypt and Colombia are the biggest importers across the globe.
