Kanpur. The pea market remained volatile during the current week. Slow buying at high prices reduced buyer activity, leading to a decline over the weekend. Meanwhile, recent data from the agricultural sector provides important insights into production trends. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, pea sowing has declined to 6.57 lakh hectares in the current Rabi season, compared to 6.77 lakh hectares last year. This represents a decrease of 0.20 lakh hectares in sowing. Due to the slowdown in imports of yellow peas from abroad and continued withdrawals, the available stocks at Gujarat's three major ports—Munda, Kandla, and Hazira—have declined significantly. As of December 3, 2025, a total of 100,303 tonnes of yellow peas were available at these ports. According to data compiled by IGrain India, yellow pea stocks at Mundra Port declined from 156,796 tonnes on November 17 to 125,344 tonnes on December 3. Stocks also declined at Kandla Port, falling from 136,707 tonnes to 130,788 tonnes.

Pea prices remain stable amid ample supply and limited trading in Western Canadian markets. Trading activity is sluggish due to robust production and a 30% import duty in India. Producers and buyers are also maintaining a low level of activity, awaiting the release of StatsCan production data. Analysts say a slight reduction in production estimates is possible, but a sharp increase in prices is unlikely, as peas from Russia and Ukraine are available at cheaper prices. Yellow peas in Canada are trading between $7.50-$8.00, green peas between $10.50-$11.00, and maple peas between $10.00-$11.50 per bushel.

Due to increased selling by importers and subdued buying, imported pea prices declined by Rs. 25/50 per quintal during the current week, and with this decline, prices at the weekend stood at Rs. 3650/$3550 for Mumbai, Rs. 3525 for Canada, Rs. 3450 for Russia, Rs. 3525 for Canada, and Rs. 3450 for Russia.
