News Capsule: Decline in Pulse Acreage Likely in Canada for 2026–27 Season
★ In the upcoming 2026–27 crop season in Canada, farmers are expected to increase the sowing of canola and spring wheat, while pulse acreage may decline.
★ Due to large carryover stocks of lentils and peas from the previous season, farmers may allocate less area to these crops this year.
★ Better returns from crops like canola and spring wheat are likely to encourage farmers to shift acreage away from pulses, which could lead to reduced pulse sowing.
