India imposes 30% import duty on yellow peas from November
The Centre has imposed a 30% total levy on yellow pea imports, comprising a 10% import duty and a 20% Agriculture Infrastructure Development Cess, effective November 1. This comes as domestic farmers urged authorities to curb the influx of cheap imports, which were pressuring local prices. The government had earlier allowed duty-free imports of yellow peas until March 31, 2026.
