Yellow Peas

[westernvicki]

Economics 101: the cure for high prices is high prices.

We are in oversupply, more so India is in oversupply.

the most damaging issue with the imposition of this import duty is it appears to be affective IMMEDIATELY, which means anything enroute or in a contract is subject to the import duty on arrival: there is not even a small window of tolerance for contracts executed, and although trade has been reduced there are still a lot of tonnes.

This is a clear case for the WTO as indeed the impact is global. Massive losses will be incurred.

It is hard to understand why a Nation would take such a route, and the clear lobby is for a minimum of a 60 day implementation time to allow all contacts to clear: the Dec 31 fumigation deadline was looming at any rate, and for Canada it still is.

With massive plantings, with good production the issue of oversupply from Indian self sufficiency will continue. As an FYI India has had a goal of self sufficiency for many years, one which I am not sure we believed would happen but it has. Like the oil oversupply, it may be a new paradigm.

Somebody needs to grow some balls and slap import duties on their *** contaminated foods. Their air and water are so filthy they re told not to go outside during the day. Our groups here are so *** stupid and lazy why isn't this brought up. Their food likely isn't safe to eat and they're worried about non issues with our s

Call your mla and mp and tell them we need to hear them individually on the news making this statement or no vote next time.

Soybeans? But around here they were a bit of a bust.
Green peas....much smaller market can be over produced.
Red Lentils....in the toilet too
Other types of lentils will follow reds if too many acres shift to them.
Chick Peas....small area suitable (weather dependant)

The huge Indian demand was too good to be true for any length of time. ...and next year?

India is typically a large part of green pea demand. Scratch my previous somewhat bullish 2017 crop thoughts on green peas

If pea and lentils acres get halved, what is going to replace them? 25 or 30 million acres of canola next year? That would make Agrium happy. They are likely jacking fertilizer prices right now. There are brush piles on newly cleared land burning around here. Combine that with $8 canola next year and the 80's are back.

After a dry summer I was considering growing peas again so I guess I will rethink that idea.

The last couple of years that I grew peas they looked great until I sprayed them and then they were just devastated with root rot. It also rained to the point of flooding at about the same time so I don't know what does the most damage. Not growing them for awhile might be best for me.

Yeah now there are rumors that India is going to impose a 25% import duty on lentil imports next.

Well ok then.
Know the cause of root rot? Nothing to do with BASF. And the work is toward a solution.

How come organic peas get no root rot. How come it is more prevalent in fields treated with sulfenafanacil?

Why doesn't it show up till after herbicide application?

How come our fields are disease free and the one down the road is a write-off.


That "flash" or transient crop yellowing as BASF calls it... That's what creates a pathway for infection.

The Rack has done a very interesting study... That spga does not want to publicize.

[Quadtrack]

We already know the cause of root rots.


Why throw money away. Quit shielding BASF.


That news from India wasn't a surprise... My contacts in Saudi Arabia and China have been talking about it for two weeks...

Is the announcement on Friday out of India also going to be a complete surprise?

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.
