The International Grains Council forecasts a rise in global field pea production for the 2023/24 season, reaching 14.0 million tonnes, which is 0.3 million tonnes more than the previous season and the highest in three years. This increase is primarily due to larger harvests in Russia and the USA, with Russia being the leading producer and the USA seeing a 45.6% rise. The EU-27 and Canada are also expected to see increases in production. The Union for the Promotion of Oil and Protein Plants e. V. (UFOP) highlights the potential of field peas in Europe for biodiversity, climate protection, and economic resilience in crop rotations and calls for improved funding under the Common Agricultural Policy.
