Lentils
★ Green lentil acreage is expected to be higher than last year, while red lentil acreage is likely to remain mostly stable.
★ Recent rains have introduced uncertainty regarding yield potential.
★ Some areas received enough rainfall to support crop growth, while others may now face disease or quality concerns due to excess moisture.
★ So far, lentil prices have not shown any major reaction to the weather.

Prices are as follows (FOB farm):
★ Old crop large green lentils: 43 to 45 cents per pound
