Kanpur. During the current week, pea prices witnessed a bullish and bearish trend due to limited demand. However, in a recent notification issued by the government, the deadline for duty-free import of peas has now been extended to 31 March 2026. This decision has created an atmosphere of disappointment among domestic traders and farmers. Market experts believe that increasing the import deadline will increase pressure on domestic supply and it may take time for prices to stabilize. If there is no major change in domestic demand in the coming months, further decline in prices is possible. Due to limited buying, no rise or fall was seen in the prices of imported peas during the current week and the prices remained at Mumbai Canada Rs 3725 Russia Rs 3575 and currency Canada Rs 3550 and Russia Rs 3450 per quintal at the weekend.
