Tridge summary

Canada, the world's largest pea producer, is experiencing a severe drought, leading to a 45% decrease in pea production compared to average years. Meanwhile, in France, the harvest is lower due to wet weather, contributing to a surge in the price of pea protein for processing. This comes as demand for pea protein, a popular plant-based alternative to meat and dairy, continues to rise. Major companies like PepsiCo, Nestlé, and Archer Daniels Midland are responding to this trend, and research firm Grand View Reserach anticipates the pea protein market will grow by 12% annually on average in the future.
