In recent years, the global pulse industry has had to adapt to a series of ups and downs. Protectionist policies sent export origins looking for alternative markets. Then an explosion in the plant-based foods segment saw leading pulse ingredients companies ramp up processing capacity. Now the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown trade flows out of whack, but at the same time driven up consumer demand for pulses.
