News Capsule: Canada Weekly Market Review
Lentils
★ Lentil markets remained steady this week with very little price movement.
★ Sales of large green lentils saw a slight uptick, with December/January delivery trades reported at 28 cents per pound FOB farm.
Buyer interest in lower-grade small green lentils remains minimal.
★ Red lentil prices also stayed firm at 23 cents per pound delivered, with ample on-farm stocks keeping a lid on potential price gains.
★ Overall, prices have stabilized after a modest post-harvest rebound, with limited signs of any major upside in the near term.

Peas
★ Following India’s imposition of a 30% import tariff, pea markets have remained largely stable.
★ Canadian supplies are high this year, while large output from the Black Sea region has further increased competition in export markets.
★ Although China’s pea stocks are reportedly declining, there is currently little chance of China easing its 100% import duty on Canadian peas.
★ Meanwhile, Russia’s exports are expected to rise.
★ Current bids are around $7.00/bu for yellow peas (FOB farm), $10.00–$10.25/bu for green peas, and $9.00–$10.50/bu for maple peas.
★ Given strong global availability, upward price movement appears limited.

★ Although overall trading volumes remain limited, buyers are active across all quality levels.
