ABARES forecasts Australian lentil production to rise 5% to a record 2.3 million tonnes in 2026–27, following a record crop the previous season. Expanded planted area and favourable conditions in South Australia and Victoria support the outlook, although disease-control and fungicide-application issues remain risks.
Record output would increase lentil availability and could put downward pressure on prices. Lentils are not among the listed commodities, so no commodity price direction is assigned.
