Summary
In this episode of Inside the Pod, Ben Pike takes a look at the latest Pulse Market Update for March 2026. Market values have been remarkably static since the autumn of 2025 with little to report and a clear explanation is not so easy to find. The DEFRA declared cropped area for pulses in 2025 was below 200,000ha - the lowest since crop 2019 and a drop of over 73,000ha over two years - most of which appears to have been at the expense of field beans. It is highly likely that this reflects the negative impact of the uptake of SFI options, although recent inconsistent crop experiences may not have helped.
