Market Growth Factors

The global pigeon pea market is majorly driven by consumers rising in health awareness and consumption of pigeon pea increasing as a perfect protein food. It is used to meet the rising nutritional requirements since it has rich nutritional content in vitamins like thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6, folate, vitamin An and minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium. In addition, the nutritional composition for the product is said to be key to preventing and treating numerous diseases.

Pigeon pea tolerates drought and dry conditions better than most other pulses, growing a thick and deep tap root. It is thus an important pulse crop for food and feed security in arid and semi-arid areas. As it is a perennial crop, there is a possibility of multiple harvests for sale, for local or international markets, and factors such as population growth, imports, higher per capita incomes and world storage facilities provide a meaningful market potential.

Apart from food, pigeon pea has a number of uses such as animal fodder, fuel wood, lac insect farming, green manuring, soil conservation and wind break plantation. Similar to other crops, pigeon pea has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. A shift towards online retail has been observed among consumers. Government policy, especially in countries like India where they promote the production and marketing of pigeon pea and support farmers, is also important.
