Centre imposes 30% levy on yellow pea imports ahead of kharif season
The Centre has imposed a 30% total levy on yellow pea imports, comprising a 10% import duty and a 20% AIDC, effective November 1. This policy shift aims to support domestic pulse growers ahead of the kharif season, responding to farmer group concerns about cheap imports depressing local market prices.
