Lentils are one of the oldest food crops grown and used
by man. Today lentils are found throughout the world and
are grown on about 3 percent of the total world area under
pulses. Some countries in West Asia. with Mediterranean
climates. have proportionately a much higher hectarage under
lentils. For instance. Jordan has 75 percent of its total
area under pulses devoted to lentil production. The
proportions are 51 percent. 28 percent and 24 percent for
Syria. Turkey and Iran respectively (Webb and Hawtin. 1 980).
