Pulse Growing in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Tricky harvest: Low rainfall has significantly reduced industry revenue in the current year

Production in the Pulse Growing industry is highly volatile, impacted by multiple factors. Annual rainfall is a crucial driver of pulse production, with years of high rainfall often contributing to solid yields, boosting industry revenue. In contrast, low yearly rainfall can lower industry revenue significantly. Fluctuating rainfall levels have prompted high industry revenue volatility. As growers export most domestic pulse production, any upturn or downturn in exports impacts industry revenue. Monsoon seasons that reduced Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani output over the two years through 2016-17 significantly boosted export revenue, causing a price spike and encouraging more farmers to grow pulses. Companies in this industry grow pulses, such as chickpeas and lupins. This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
