Tickets that were originally priced at Rs 2,500 are being resold for as much as Rs 300,000
Traders have been urging managers of the Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange (DGCX) to list pulses — such as peas, beans, lentils and chickpeas — since 2005, said Sudhakar Tomar, managing director of Hakan Agro DMCC, one of the leading food commodities trading company in the Gulf region. “I think with the current uncertain economic climate the exchange is wary of introducing new products to the listings, but right now producing animal protein has become very costly and we have to encourage the alternatives,” Tomar said in an interview. “Producing animal protein requires a lot of energy and at this time we have to look at ways to cut back on all these extra costs, so shifting to consuming pulses is a solution,” he said, adding that about 14 kilograms of yellow corn are needed to produce just one kilogram of chicken.
Some 60 million metric tonnes of pulses are produced every year globally, but only a sixth of that amount are listed on futures exchanges — and when a commodity is not listed it tends to be marginalised, Tomar said.
