Delayed Seed Sowing of Canadian Pulse Crops During W22 Due to Cold Weather

In Canada, the sowing of seeds for lentils and chickpeas has been delayed in W22 due to cold weather conditions and snowstorms in the spring. According to farmers, only about 15% of the area has been planted since May, which is less than the 25% average over the last five years. If the current regional rainfall and storms persist, it may delay the planting process and produce a late crop which could lead to price increases.
