Winnipeg, May 31 (CNS Canada) – Following are a few highlights in the Canadian and world pulse markets on Tuesday, May 31.
– India’s annual south-west monsoon is set to begin over the next week, with official forecasts from the country pegging the onset at somewhere between June 3 to 9. India has seen two straight years of poor monsoons, which cut into production and caused pulse prices to rise sharply. Farmers in the country are banking on better precipitation this year.
– Top end green pea prices in the C$9.00 to C$9.75 per bushel range being reported in Western Canada. Meanwhile, top end yellow peas are going for as much as C$13.50 per bushel in some locations. Red lentil bids of 50 cents per pound are now being reported in some locations. Meanwhile, number two large green lentils are still hitting prices as high as 70 cents, but number ones have moved off their 80 cent highs to top out at 76 cents per pound at some locations.
