An increase in prices of pulses affects consumption and has ramifications for food and nutritional security.

In April 2020, the retail prices of Moong and Urad increased by 25% and 11% compared to their five-year monthly average prices.

Also, the retail prices of Moong in 2020 have consistently remained 25% more than the monthly five-year average prices for the period of March to July.

An increase in prices of pulses affects consumption and has ramifications for food and nutritional security.

The increases in prices of Moong and Urad – particularly when the broader economy is reeling under the effect of COVID-19 pandemic – deserves a closer look.
