Pea prices improve due to small trade in Canada

Regina. Pea prices in Western Canada markets have risen slightly from their lows, but not significantly. Canadian pea producers and exporters are facing numerous challenges.

China imposes heavy customs duties on Canadian pea imports, and calls to restrict yellow pea imports into India are growing.

The government may not be able to withstand this all-round pressure for long. If imports are halted in India, Canada could suffer significant losses, as both major markets—India and China—would be closed to it. Meanwhile, Russia has seen a robust pea production and is pursuing an aggressive policy to promote the export of its large stock. This could force Canada to reduce its pea prices.

Yellow pea prices have improved to $7.00-7.50 per bushel in Saskatchewan, Canada's most prominent agricultural producer.

A price of $7.50 is being quoted in southeastern Saskatchewan for 2026 delivery. Similarly, green peas have improved slightly to $10.50-11.00 per bushel, and maple peas are trading between $10 and $12 per bushel.

Harvesting of the pea crop in Canada has already concluded, and the entire crop has reached farmers. This year, production has increased significantly,

but buyer activity is being observed. Foreign importers are only making limited purchases to meet the anticipated demand.
