@chriswalsh008 Growers have to accept when growing pulses market volatility and if preparing to store be prepared to manage cash flow accordingly. Not like wheat, canola or barley when you can hedge / forward sell with confidence.
Trials investigating adding faba beans to canola/wheat rotations have shown a clear profitability lift in southern NSW 📈, according to farming systems research by @CSIRO and @nswdpi with GRDC co-investment. More: https://t.co/U5xc8Utwhr

@chriswalsh008 2/2 Containter freight into South Asia post covid and the reduction of tariffs into India will encourage a lot more pulses in the system. Growers / Agro’s etc like to see proven benefit of pulses in there area to justify.
@chriswalsh008 1/2 High relative canola prices and low pulse prices during 2021 and 2022 encouraged a lot more wheat / canola pricing with growers using more urea to try and compensate for less pulses in the system.
