Abstract
The dependence of pulses on rainfed production leads to highly volatile domestic production from one year to the next. Due to this erratic production, domestic pulses production faces the challenge of meeting domestic demand. Also, the production of pulses lagged behind population growth, and as a result, the per capita net availability of pulses declined over the years.
