It plays a very important role in improving soil fertility and for the sustainability of thefarming system. The cropping pattern is either ‘relayed’ into paddy or ‘follow’ paddy harvest. The majority offarmers grow lentil for consumption while in the Terai region it is mainly grown for the domestic market andfor export. Nepal’s exportable lentil production is concentrated in 10 districts of Terai, where approximately80 per cent of the total national production is harvested annually. There are about 670,000 farms in these tendistricts. Average yield in this region is higher than the national average and India’s yield rate. But the smallproducers with low input cropping patterns provide the bulk of supply, and commercial farm production isonly a marginal source of lentil supply. Lentil is considered a traditional crop of secondary importance, and lessattention is paid by the farmers to improve cultural operations and consequently little priority has been givento research, extension, policy, and infrastructure development. Lentils represent 60 per cent of the nationalpulses production and 90 per cent of pulses exports. The national production of lentils has been in the rangeof 140,000 to 160,000 MT per year since 2000. It was 161,147 MT in the year 2007/08. Approximately 15 percent of it (at 70 per cent milling recovery rate) is exported.NEPAL TRADE INTEGRATION STRATEGY 2010BACKGROUND REPORT39
N T I S2010Lentils are subject to occasional export bans. The GoN banned the export of lentils for more than six monthsin 2009.Index 1: Export PerformanceTable 2.12Export Value of Lentils, 2004-2008 (US$1,000)Direct data (Nepal) 2003/04 2004/05 2005/06 2006/07 2007/08Exports overseas 13,975 8,628 21,010 6,222 17,946Exports to India 8,909 10,263 9,895 4,204 4,312Total exports* 22,884 18,891 30,905 10,426 22,258Mirror data 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008Exports overseas 0 0 0 0 22,509Exports to India 7,829 8,144 5,225 2,267 5,156Total exports 7,829 8,144 5,225 2,267 27,665* Exchange rates used: 1US$ = NRs 65 until 2005/06, then 1US$ = NRs 73.Nepalese export data differs substantially from foreign (mirror) data. Unlike for other products, Nepalese datawas used to calculate indicators as the mirror data appears to be less reliable in this case. In particular, theimports reported from Turkey might not be accurate. The fact that domestic production was relatively stablesince 2003/04 is also a good indicator that exports may have been rather stable as well, but even Nepalesedata shows substantial fluctuations. Policy interventions, such as export bans, could also have a significanteffect on the accuracy of trade data because they give an additional incentive to use informal channels.Types of Exported Products: Whole and split pink lentil (mostly) in 50 kg jute bags with lining. Seed coat (chunibhusi) are exported to India as animal feed.Current Export Destinations: Nepal is currently exporting lentils to only a few countries. India remains themajor destination, but Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have come up as other export market offering much potential.The USA, UAE, and Singapore are other export destinations. Turkey has appeared as a major importer in 2008,according to import data from Turkey. However, this could not be confirmed by Nepalese sources.Potential Export Destinations: An empirical review and analysis of non-traditional potential markets indicatesthat a number of Middle East countries (Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar) could potentially be interestedin importing Nepal’s lentil. Turkey also seems to be an attractive market.Nepal’s World Market Share: Nepal is recognized as a significant player in the world’s lentil market. Over thepast two decades, it has ranked as number eight both as a producer and as an exporter of lentil. Nepalese lentilsare said to be preferred in India. In comparison with Indian lentils, they are smaller in size but consideredtastier. In 2008, Nepal’s world market share was 2.2 per cent and it was the sixth largest exporter.Trade Balance: Nepal also imports lentils from India. Such imports are volatile and have been betweenUS$100,000 and US$10 million in recent years. According to Nepalese data, exports and imports with Indiaare very similar, but if trade with third countries is included, Nepal is a net exporter.40NEPAL TRADE INTEGRATION STRATEGY 2010BACKGROUND REPORT
