      abstract = {India is the largest producer and importer of pulses in  the world. Since 1970, the Indian food economy has  undergone major policy reforms, including trade  liberalisation, that had the effect of opening up its  domestic pulse market to international trade. This market  is very lucrative and of major significance to the world  pulse economy. Therefore, given the increasing evidence  linking import demand and economic variables, an  understanding of the impact of these variables on import  demand for pulses in India is warranted. The import demand  functions for total pulses, chickpea and lentils were  estimated by autocorrelation regression procedure using  time-series data for the period 1970 through to 2000.  Empirical results indicate that real GDP, population,  urbanisation, exchange rate and relative price are key  determinants of import demand for pulses in India.},
