AgriExchange lentil listing carries an asking price of USD 678 per metric ton
AgriExchange lists 2 lentil lots, with 1 seller asking price at USD 678 per metric ton. The snapshot does not distinguish red, green, brown or dal products.
Lentil asking-price snapshot
AgriExchange’s database snapshot for 24 October 2026 records 2 listed lentil lots, of which 1 carries a seller asking price. The reported asking-price range is USD 678 per metric ton to USD 678 per metric ton, with a median of USD 678 per metric ton. These figures describe listed offers, not completed transactions or trading volume.
The identical range endpoints and median reflect the single priced listing. They do not establish a prevailing market price, demonstrate agreement between multiple sellers or show that lentil prices are stable. The snapshot provides a specific asking-price reference, but no evidence of price movement over time.
For red, green and brown lentils and dal, the central distinction is between this aggregate listing reference and a product-specific quotation. The supplied platform summary does not identify which lentil type carries the price.
Platform coverage and its limits
Across AgriExchange, the supplied database records 3,352 listed lots, with 94 lots carrying a seller asking price. The lentil figures sit within that wider marketplace total. Neither the exchange-wide lot count nor the number of priced listings measures the weight of commodities available.
The lentil summary contains no lot weights, minimum order quantities or available tonnage. Consequently, 2 listed lots cannot be translated into a supply quantity. Nor does the summary establish whether the listings have matching specifications, commercial terms or dispatch arrangements.
This is a point-in-time view generated on the report date. Without an earlier comparable snapshot, there is no supported basis for describing lentil listing activity as expanding or contracting. The same limitation applies to asking prices: the available figure is a current database observation, not a documented upward or downward trend.
Red, green and brown lentils
Red lentils, green lentils and brown lentils are within the scope of this report, but the supplied listing totals do not separate them. There is no supported asking-price comparison between these categories, and no evidence that any particular category accounts for either of the listed lots.
For red lentils, the summary does not specify product form or provide a separate price. For green lentils, it supplies no distinct quotation or grade information. Brown lentils likewise have no separately identified listing count, origin or asking price in the supplied data.
The USD 678 per metric ton observation therefore cannot be assigned to all three categories or used to calculate differences between them. A product-level comparison would require the category attached to each listing and its associated specification. Until that information is available, the aggregate lentil figure should remain labelled as such.
Dal and quotation comparability
The supplied data also does not identify a dal product or state whether either lentil listing is offered in whole or processed form. It provides no processing specification, packaging description or quality documentation. There is therefore no separate dal asking-price benchmark in this snapshot.
A useful quotation record would distinguish the named product, its form, declared quality, packaging, lot quantity and commercial basis. These are information requirements for interpreting an offer, rather than characteristics established for the listed lots. The current summary leaves those fields unavailable.
Without that detail, the report cannot identify a processing premium, a quality differential or a like-for-like relationship between a lentil offer and a dal offer. Treating the single asking price as interchangeable across these descriptions would go beyond the evidence.
Origins, logistics and wider trade context
The platform supplies an exchange-wide origin ranking, but no origin breakdown specifically for lentils. Those broader origin records cannot establish where the lentil lots were produced or where they would be dispatched from. Freight charges, delivery destinations, shipment dates and contractual delivery terms are also unavailable.
According to UN News, its 9 October 2026 headline reported that global trade reached a record $35 trillion despite conflicts. That is broad trade context only. The supplied headline contains no lentil-specific breakdown and does not establish the direction of lentil demand, shipments or prices.
There is consequently no supported connection between that global trade total and the AgriExchange asking price. The supplied external material also provides no lentil-specific harvest assessment, import measure or export-policy update on which to base a supply or regulatory conclusion.
What this means for buyers and sellers
For buyers and sellers assessing the available information, the usable reference is narrowly defined: 1 priced lentil listing at USD 678 per metric ton within 2 listed lentil lots. Product identity and quotation terms remain necessary to determine what that reference actually covers.
The snapshot supports neither a relative-value judgement between red, green and brown lentils nor a separate conclusion about dal. Clear separation of listing counts, asking prices, product specifications and shipment terms preserves the distinction between an advertised offer and a broader market assessment.
