Peas: China's Anti-Dumping Duty Creates Market Jitters
★ The global field pea market remained largely unchanged, with most exporters and buyers waiting for harvest results from the Northern Hemisphere crop. While Canada is expected to produce a good crop, concerns over increasing disease incidence continue to cloud the outlook. In France, unusually high temperatures have raised concerns about both yield and crop quality.
★ The biggest development came from China, which imposed a 73.5% anti-dumping duty on pea starch imports from Canada. The move is expected to put pressure on Canadian pea-based exports and could influence global trade flows.

Lentils: Market Steady Amid Limited Trading
★ Global lentil prices remained largely unchanged as spot and forward trading activity stayed subdued. Competition for available demand remains intense, with Canadian exporters facing stiff competition from lower-priced Australian red lentils and Russian green lentils.
★ Although favourable soil moisture conditions in North America have improved yield prospects, concerns remain that excessive moisture could increase disease incidence and adversely affect crop quality, keeping market participants cautious.

Chickpeas: Market Holds Steady Amid Production Uncertainty
★ The global chickpea market remained largely stable in seasonally light trading. Uncertainty over upcoming crop yields has discouraged farmers from making additional forward sales, while buyers are also refraining from building significant coverage for their year-end requirements.
★ As a result, some exporters have maintained defensive asking prices, while buying interest at the grower level continues to remain limited.
