Winnipeg, January 3 – Bids for large (10mm) kabuli
chickpeas were holding steady at Prairie elevators, with prices
ranging from 63 to 70 cents per pound, according to the Prairie
Ag Hotwire.
Green peas were listed at C$8.00-$9.50 per bushel while
yellow peas were C$7.65 to $9.00. Lentils were standing firm at
61 to 69 cents per pound.
Based on data from Google Trends, searches for pulses,
lentils and beans hit their highest levels since 2004-the
farthest back that data goes-during 2016. (Peas bucked the trend
with peak searches during the winter of 2010.).
According to the Indian newspaper The Tribune, crop
insurance claims for chickpea farmers in India will be delayed
until the end of February.
