Various agricultural reforms and technical advancements had ignored the sector of cultivation of pulses for a long time. Cultivation of pulses and relative programs lack investment of funds that it calls for.
These crops are evidently long-term crops i.e., there is a long period or gap between the sowing of the crop and the reaping of the crop as it takes long time that calls for more investment, higher proximity with the risks, and longer engagement of resources like land and labour in the crop.
There is also a lack of high variety or certified seeds, and higher vulnerability to pests and insects. Also, lack of the market resources, infrastructural facilities and support, lack of government support, and other materialistic engagements are few of the reasons for low production.
The award of cultivation in terms of the monetary margins and returns received by the cultivators is too low and the import duties on the pulses are also comparatively low making import of pulses a preferred option on the comparative scale of the resources and hard work it engages if cultivated in the country itself.
