Lentils Pleased by Tender Activity

VANCOUVER - Jul 18/14 - SNS -- North American lentil markets were little changed in relatively light trading interest during the past week.

Last season saw a sharp drop in the quantity of lentils bought for shipment as PL-480 food aid from 34,530 in 2012-13 to just 17,880 MT.
