Lentils - Situation and outlook

SUMMARY

Canada is the largest exporter of lentils in the world. It became the largest producer of lentils in 2005-2006,
but is expected to return to second place in 2006-2007 because production is forecast to decrease sharply.
Exports in 2006-2007 are expected to remain stable, while carry-out stocks decrease sharply. Prices are
forecast to increase because of the lower supply. The value of Canadian exports was $233 million (M) in
2004-2005 and is anticipated to reach nearly M$300 in 2005-2006. This issue of the Bi-weekly Bulletin
examines the situation and outlook for lentils.
