NEW DELHI - Indian buyers do not expect supplies of Canadian lentils and potash to be affected by the diplomatic row between New Delhi and Ottawa, trade, industry and government officials said.Ties between India and Canada deteriorated sharply after New Delhi and Ottawa ordered six diplomats to leave in tit-for-tat moves over Ottawa's allegations that New Delhi was targeting Indian dissidents on Canadian soil.
"Indian traders have already placed orders for shipments scheduled for October and November, and these are expected to arrive as planned," Bimal Kothari, chairman of India Pulses and Grains Association, said referring to lentil imports from Canada. India is the world's biggest producer of pulse varieties, with a production around 29 million metric tons, but it's not enough to meet local demand, making New Delhi the biggest importer of pulse.
A senior fertiliser industry official said: "We are continuing to import potash as per contracts. There has been no change in policy, and we have not received any orders or instructions from the government to stop potash imports from Canada."
