Yellow Peas

[Quadtrack]

Sask Pulse is exactly working on the two main issues mentioned. A bunch of research into root rot for at least last three years. Varieties with some resistance are in the pipeline.
And market access is the number one effort thru Pulse Canada. Which Sask Pulse funds in a major way along with other provinces and trade. In fact efforts have basically been doubled in last few years. It’s an immense complex area.
This news out of India was anticipated by no one.

Seen this today , not sure how accurate though ....

If so it will further pressure prices down in all pulses

Still by far the biggest issue in pulses is root rots and and understanding what is exaggerating the problem beyond crop rotation and why it is showing up in dry soils and areas. It's not only a wet soils issue. There are other factors that greatly exaggerate the problem but it's taboo to even mention . If they don't address the root rot issue completely the pulse industry will collapse and all the other things they do are / will be a complete waste of time and money if we can't grow pulses . Fusarium root rot is going to take out the pulse industry if not addressed .

Average SK prices for yellows didn't drop below $10 till July last year. Quotes were as high as 14.07 late Feb early Mar.
High prices cure high prices

Can someone in the know tell me why market access isn't more important than new varieties. ....and why it isn't in saskpulse's wheelhouse?

Market access is a huge part of Pulse Canada's program. SpG already funds it thru it's national partner.

And they do have a marketing newsletter to keep producers in the newsletter. That came out of the green lentil marketing study in about 2006 when Large green lentils hit 8 cents a lb. Then they expanded it to all pulses.

Its all connected....there better be some research into root rot or some years Canadian supply could be small. But market access is needed regardless.

It looks very obvious to me the yellow pea export market is going to be the shits.

[QUOTE=Klause;361134]Sask pulse caused a lot of this. LOL. Especially with regards to lentils.


I had a bid a few days ago that worked back to $6.90 for yellow peas less than 13.5 moisture less than 2% splits with "excellent" natural odour and color.

Check off is the same no matter the price right? Wouldn't it be better if it was based on % of net? Would encourage them to advocate markets more on price instead of quantity.

It is public, it just has a time lag in it's release. Comes out about a month or so after the last day of the reporting month. As to why it takes that long... it's a government agency, they tend not to be high on efficiency or low on red tape. I have sent the link before but will paste it again, has all the info of how much and where to all your grain goes:
