Lentils
Nutritious pulses for global food markets
Overview
Lentils are among the world's most nutritionally dense pulses, with growing demand across food manufacturing, retail, and food service sectors globally. Cymba Aurea Trading sources red, green, and brown lentil varieties from leading production regions, offering consistent quality, competitive pricing, and reliable supply across spot and forward markets.
Global lentil trade is dominated by Canada, which accounts for over 50% of world exports. Turkey and Australia are significant secondary exporters. Demand is driven by growing consumer interest in plant-based protein, with key import markets including India, Bangladesh, Turkey, and the EU. Prices are influenced by Canadian harvest conditions, Indian import policy, and freight rates.
