FAQ:

Where do pulses grow in Canada?

The four central provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Manitoba are home to most Canadian pulses grown, harvested, and exported to a significant number of destinations and international markets. Production and cultivation of pulses in Canada have constantly risen over the last few decades. Today, an average of over 3 million hectares are devoted to growing these precious food staples.
What are the best times for growing and harvesting pulses?

Canadian pulses are mainly an excellent cold season crop, and once the frost-free month of May comes around, pulse seeds can be sown. Lentils, chickpeas, and many types of beans are also sown ideally between early to mid-May. It approximately takes these crops a little over hundred days to get ready for harvest. For instance, as for lentils, once pods begin to harden and their color turns brown, irrigation should stop to help with the plant’s drying process.
Which Pulses Are Exported from Canada?

Most of the pulses grown and produced in Canada as a worldwide leading producer, are used for export. Peas, lentils, and chickpeas account for nearly half of the entire crops produced in this vast nation. Canada is the largest supplier of lentils and some peas to India. For instance, in 2019, despite some decline in exports, this highly populated Asian country imported more than 300 million Canadian dollars worth of lentils.
