Pulses Production and Trade Performance in India and Myanmar

Abstract

Background: Although India has always been the greatest producer of pulses, the Indian trade deficit in pulses has transformed several nations into important producers and exporters. Myanmar, with a prevalence of small farms mainly producing chickpea, pigeonpea, mungbean and urdbean, has risen as a major producer of pulses destined for export. Methods: The data were collected for the time period 1970-2019 to work out trends in area, production and productivity of pulses for both countries. Similarly, data on the pulses trade for the period 1988 to 2019 was also collected for India and Myanmar to analyze growth of export and import of pulses. The outcome of the results are classified in two ways; growth rate (CAGR) and instability (CV%). Result: Growth rate of pulses in India was found highest in period-V (2.45% in area, 3.83% in production and 1.4% in yield) whereas the growth rate of pulses in Myanmar was observed highest in period-III (10.9% in area, 12.93% in production). Myanmar’s instability of pulses was found than India’s in all decades except 2010-19. In case of export-import scenario, India’s pulses import ranked first in the world due to meet the demand of increasing population.

Deciphering the antimicrobial, antibiofilm and membrane stabilizing synergism of Mikania scandens (L.) Willd. leaves and stems substantiation through in vitro and in silico studies

“…This ethyl acetate extracts supremacy therefore observed in aerial part extract of this same plants constructing the highest 9.37 mm inhibitory zone which articulately preceded by present studies [37] . Likewise, this research emphasized the furthest zone of inhibition that over some plant extracts displayed [38] , [39] , [40] . In the case of fungi, Ethyl acetate extracts from polar solvents conferred a much larger 24 ± 1.6 mm inhibitory zone against fungus Candida albicans when compared to non-polar carbon tetrachlorides 18 ± 1.25 mm zone.…”

Identification of quantitative trait loci controlling flowering time in black gram (Vigna mungo [L.] Hepper)

“…Outside Asia, it is grown in Australia, Argentina and Brazil for export to Asian countries (Joshi and Rao, 2017). More than 7 million ha of black gram are cultivated, with India having the largest area (about 5.6 million ha) and being the largest consumer, with Myanmar having the second largest area (about 1 million ha) and being the biggest exporter (Khine et al, 2021). The seed yield of black gram in major production countries is low (only about 990 kg/ha) due to several production constrains, such as drought, insect infestation, disease infection and photo-and thermo-sensitivity (Sahu et al, 2020;Singh et al, 2022).…”
