摘要：

China’s 2019/20 total pulse production is forecast at 4 million tons, down about 10 percent from 2018/19 due to lower area harvested and unfavorable weather in major producing provinces. Low pulse prices (especially for mung and adzuki) helped drive plantings down year-over-year. China’s annual pulse consumption per-capita is roughly 1.7 kilograms, leading East Asia as the fastest growing market. Pulses are increasingly deemed as a healthy and convenient food option. Rising incomes and greater nutrition awareness (health benefits of high fiber and vegetable protein diets) have strengthened demand. Robust demand is especially evident for dried peas (food and feed use), which are the fastest expanding market for pulses.
