Adding spice to the Goan market Over 800 delegates from 20 countries came and transacted Rs. 500 crore worth of business 01 March 2014: India Pulses and Grains Association successfully hosted THE PULSES CONCLAVE 2014, a three day mega event for the global pulses trade and industry earlier this month in Goa. Over 800 delegates from India and across 24 countries including Australia, USA, Canada, Russia, Spain, Pakistan, Kenya, Myanmar to name a few participated in the Conclave. Business worth over Rs. 500 crore was transacted.

Mr. Pravin Dongre, Chairman, India Pulses and Grains Association, speaking about the Conclave said, “We are overwhelmed by the stupendous response the Conclave has received from the trade and industry across India and the world. The Conclave has provided a huge opportunity for all participants to Converge‐Connect‐Capitalise through trade tie‐ups and strategic alliances. India is the epicenter of global pulses trade; and through this endeavor we are trying to bring the trade across geographies closer.”

Hon. Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Lyle Stewart, Govt. of Saskatchewan, Canada led a 10‐member trade delegation to the Conclave which underscored the importance of India as a market and demonstrates the confidence and commitment the global pulses industry has for India as well as the association. Canada is also exploring a tie‐up with ICRISAT, for transfer of R & D technology opportunities with India to boost the yield and quality of the pulses.

Mr. Bimal Kothari, Vice Chairman – IPGA speaking about The Pulses Conclave 2014 said, “The price outlook in the forthcoming months will remain stable considering that we had a fantastic year of crop specially chickpeas and yellow peas according to the government of India figures. IPGA has decided to officially conduct an annual crop survey by appointing a professional agency to get the estimate production of Rabi and Kharif crops which is a major issue in India.”

A key highlight of the Conclave was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between India Pulses and Grains Association (IPGA) and the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) to work in collaboration for increasing effectiveness of trade tools including lifting of trading restrictions through continuous dialogue with regulator and policymakers.

The Pulses Conclave 2014 had three key components viz., a Seminar, an Exhibition and a series of B2B meetings between stakeholders. The seminar comprised of a series of stimulating presentations by speakers from India and abroad as well as insightful panel discussions by policymakers, domain experts and agri‐business professionals who covered key areas like global agri‐market drivers and price outlook. The origin presentations from America, Myanmar, Africa and Australia as well as market and price outlook for each pulse category such as Chick Peas, Lentils and others are expected to impart a renewed dynamism to international trade.
