# Lentil Production Set for Second Record Crop

> 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.

## Why it matters

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.
