Fewer field peas worldwide

Published 2021년 11월 25일

Tridge summary

The International Grain Council forecasts a 16% decrease in global fodder pea production for 2021/22, primarily due to lower production in North America, especially Canada. Hot and dry conditions have resulted in the lowest harvest in almost two decades. While Russia is the leading producer with 2.7 million tonnes, the EU-27's production has increased by 7% to 2.2 million tonnes. Despite a larger harvest in Ukraine, it cannot offset the decline in North America. The Union for the promotion of oil and protein plants e. V. (UFOP) has called for better coordination of funding options for the cultivation of field peas and other large-grain legumes to support the supply of GMO-free protein for human and animal sources in the EU 27.

The International Grain Council IGC is currently assuming global fodder pea production of 12.6 million tonnes for 2021/22. According to research by Agrarmarkt Informations-Gesellschaft (mbH), this would be a minus of 16% (2.3 million t) and is primarily due to lower production in North America. The field pea harvest in Canada is currently estimated at 2.5 million t, 45% below the previous year's level. Persistently hot and dry conditions in the western growing regions during the sowing and vegetation phase resulted in the lowest harvest in almost two decades. Russia moves to the top of the field pea producers with 2.7 million t, even if the harvest was around 1.5% smaller than in the previous year. In third place is the EU-27 with a production of 2.2 million t. That is 7% more than in 2020 and is due to the larger cultivation areas in Germany and France. In France, above-average income was generated that could not be achieved in Germany due to the weather. Even the 21% or 100,000 ...
