Abstract: India is the largest importer and consumer of Pigeon peas. Traditionally, the Pigeon peas in India are imported from Myanmar and East Africa. Malawi, as a country is a major exporter of Pegion peas to India. This paper tries to identify the structure of the Malawian pigeon peas markets and explores how the Indian importers can access the markets. It also explains the modalities of a new initiative that has been launched in Malawi by AHL Commodities Exchange, linking the buyers directly to small holder producers in Malawi.
