Field pea varieties aim to expand exports and nutrition
Saskatchewan leads world field pea output and 80 percent of its crop goes to Europe, South America, and Asia. The PFRC funded Pea Varietal Project will develop higher nutrition varieties to boost export markets, with trials by CDC and Poultry Resource Group and support from Prairie Swine Centre and Saskatchewan Pulse Growers. The aim is superior feeding quality for chicks and pigs and to market peas as energy sources alongside soybean and canola meals.
