SASKATCHEWAN – Canada’s largest lentil customer is lowering tariff rates for the next six weeks.

It is similar to a reduction from India that lasted from June to the end of August.

The tariff will go from 33 per cent down to 11 per cent until Oct. 31. This is for all countries except the United States.

Pulse Canada said it is working with the federal government to get additional information.
