VANCOUVER - Aug 7/10 - SNS -- Pulse exports from Myanmar for the first half of the 2010 calendar year are down by almost 50% from the same period last year, with shipments in June recording the eighth consecutive month in which exports were down from year earlier levels on account of reduced demand from India.
Matpe accounted for 62% of the total exports, followed by Toor Whole (Pigeon pea) 25% and Mung bean 9%. India remained the largest buyer accounting for 84% of total exports.
