A spokesman for the Federal Agriculture Minister has confirmed that the Indian government has not granted another six-month exemption that would see peas and lentils fumigated on arrival.

The practice of fumigating the crops on arrival, rather than before export, has been going on for more than a decade.

The required treatment of methyl bromide is being phased out by Canada due to it's effect on the ozone layer. The chemical also has limited capabilities in Canada's cold climate.

Canadian officials are working with their Indian counterparts to come up with a solution before the March 31 deadline.
