Wow. Looks like the US diesel crisis has just been solved. Russia will “immediately” supply 300K tons — roughly 0.6 days of US consumption — plus another 500K tons in November, or about one day. A “highly successful discussion,” indeed. Now the more interesting question: what did the Kremlin get in return? #oatt #artofthedeal #winning

@LeftFieldCR's projections point to smaller 2026 crops for all three major pulses, but large old-crop carryovers will cushion some of the declines in total supplies. Read the full report: ow.ly/NKvs50ZKYx9

The Indian #pulses market remains stable for now, but watch out for tailwinds ahead. 🛑 Risks: Geopolitical conflicts driving up sea freight & shipping charges, plus long-term El Niño developments. The current Russia Ukraine war also started impact on Yellow peas shipment. 🛡️ Buffers: Strong GoI buffer stocks, open Less duty imports for key lentils/desi chick peas and monsoon recovery. 📈 Outlook: Expect a 5-10% price firming due to upcoming festive demand and market sentiment. #AgriMarket #PulsesTrade #Commodities #IndiaAgri @Manisha3005 @MrituenjayZee @PTI_News @IGrain_India – at Pune, India
