Winnipeg, Feb. 10 (CNS Canada) – Canada exported 22,400 tonnes of peas during the week ended February 5, bringing the total year-to-date exports to 2.04 million tonnes, according to Canadian Grain Commission data. That compares with 1.67 million at the same point a year ago.
Farmers have delivered a total of 2.61 million tonnes of peas into the Canadian commercial pipeline to date. That’s well ahead of the 1.88 million tonnes delivered by the same time the previous year.
A looming policy shift in India that will force agricultural shipments to be fumigated at the country of export could hurt Canadian pulse exports to the country, according to a report from the Western Producer. Canada currently has an exemption, but that exemption is set to drop on March 31. Pulse Canada is working on reaching a solution.
