Why are the prices of pulses increasing?
There are some special reasons behind the increase in the prices of pulses. For example, if we pay attention, the price of pulses increases due to reduction in domestic production, fluctuations in weather and hoarding. Apart from this, the cost of freight transportation due to increase in the cost of imports and rise in international fuel prices is also a major reason for this. Although pulses are not imported much, but due to increasing tension in the market, their prices have also been deeply affected.
