Abstract

This paper examines the changing situation of pulse production in Australia over the last 30 years and projections to the year 2005. During the 30 years there has been a rapid change in the industry. In 1967 pulse production was 30,000 tonnes whilst in 1996 some 2,300,000 tonnes were produced. It is anticipated that between 3,500,000 and 4,000,000 tonnes will be produced in 2005. For most of the last 30 years Lupinus angustifolius has been the most important pulse. Australia is the major producer and the only country to export lupins into world markets. Over the last decade we have seen expansion in production of peas, chickpeas, faba beans and lentils as well as lupins. The production of these alternative pulses is now some 1,000,000 tonnes and should double by 2005. We predict Australia will be the largest pulse exporter in the world by year 2005.
