Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s (AAFC) November Outlook forecasted

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s (AAFC) November Outlook forecasted a bumper production and good yield of pulses in Canada this year.

For dry peas, production increased by 15% to 3.0 million tonnes (Mt), and yields were 8% higher than the previous year due to better climatic conditions. Yellow and green pea types are expected to account for approximately 2.4 Mt and 0.45 Mt, respectively.

Lentils also showed a significant increase of 35%, reaching 2.4 Mt, due to higher planted area and improved yields. Large green lentil production is estimated to be higher than last year at 0.45 Mt, while red lentil production rose to about 1.7 Mt. Production of other lentil types is estimated to have risen to 0.25 Mt. Yields increased by 17%. India and Turkey are currently the top export markets for Canadian lentils.
