Algeria's Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) by region shows the vegetation index within normal range. However, the satellite image shows dry pockets in the western region, highlands, and some dry areas in the eastern region. The Chief of the Algerian Farmers Union and the Algerian Technical Institute for Field Crops (ITGC) forecast a decline in the grain crop due to a deficit in rainfall. The Algerian Office of Cereals (OAIC) purchased wheat on the international market. For these reasons, Post forecasts an increase in wheat and barley imports.
On July 26, 2021, India's Ministry of Finance issued Notification No. 38/2021-Customs. India is lowering the basic import duty on lentils (HS 0713.40.00) from 10 percent to zero percent for all origins, except for U.S.-origin lentils. The basic import duty on U.S.-origin lentils, however, is being reduced from 30 percent to 10 percent. India's Agriculture Infrastructure Development Cess (ADIC), levied on imported foreign-origin lentils, is also being lowered from 20 percent to 10 percent. India's Social Welfare Surcharge of 10 percent applied on the total duties (the basic duty plus the ADIC) remains unchanged. The total effective import duty on U.S.-origin lentils is dropping from 55 percent to 22 percent.
