  "account": "India's pulses exports have experienced a remarkable five-fold growth over the past decade, both in value and volume. In the first quarter of the current financial year, exports soared by 59% in terms of volume, reaching over 4.94 lakh tonnes, and 45% in value, reaching $452.27 million. This surge in demand has been driven by strong overseas interest in Indian pulses, including processed products with geographical indications (GI) tags. The Indian government recognizes the export potential of premium pulses, such as Gulbarga Tur Dal, and exports have been increasing in response to this demand. China is the largest buyer of Indian pulses, followed by the UAE, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia. Indian farmers are benefiting from higher prices in international markets for their GI-tagged products, with the Union Commerce Minister praising the farmers for their hard work. A favorable export policy is desired to further boost the pulses export industry, enabling farmers to access overseas markets and improve their earnings.",
