About vegetables, leguminous; lentils, shelled, whether or not skinned or split, dried

HS code 071340 covers the import and export of dried, shelled lentils, which are a type of leguminous vegetable. Lentils are a staple food in many parts of the world, particularly in South Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Europe. They are a rich source of protein, fiber, and various essential nutrients, making them an important part of a healthy, balanced diet. The global lentil trade plays a significant role in the international food supply chain, with major producers and exporters including Canada, India, and Australia.

Production process

Lentils are typically grown in dry, temperate climates. After harvesting, the lentil pods are dried, and the seeds are removed and sorted by size and quality. Depending on the desired end product, the lentils may be left whole, split, or processed further, such as by removing the outer skin. Advanced processing techniques may also involve cleaning, grading, and packaging the lentils to meet specific customer requirements.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the lentil industry include agricultural land, water, and labor for cultivation and harvesting. Farmers also rely on seeds, fertilizers, and various farming equipment and machinery. Transportation infrastructure, such as roads and railways, is crucial for the efficient movement of lentils from production areas to domestic and international markets. Additionally, the industry requires packaging materials, storage facilities, and processing equipment to prepare the lentils for distribution.
