Canada Pulses Market
Kabuli Chickpeas
The Canadian pulses market is showing mild but positive activity this week. Buyer interest in chickpeas has been gradually increasing; however, this has not yet translated into significantly stronger bids. The tone remains cautiously optimistic.

Lentils
Red lentil prices have softened by approximately 1 cent per pound, now trading around $0.25/lb delivered plant.
Large green lentils continue to trade within a steady range, while small green lentils remain sluggish with weak demand.
New crop contracts have entered the market, but volumes are expected to be limited due to relatively higher carryout stocks this year.
~~~~~~~~~
Peas
Supply remains heavy in the pea market.
Yellow peas: $7.50–8.00 per bushel
Green peas: $10.00–10.25 per bushel
Maple peas have seen a slight pullback in pricing.
China’s return as an export destination could provide support in the upcoming marketing year. However, demand from India remains uncertain.
Overall Market View
The market currently holds a steady-to-soft tone. While chickpea demand is gradually improving and new crop contracts offer potential opportunities, producers should carefully consider stock quality, moisture levels, and carryout supplies when making marketing decisions.
