Green peas, Yellow peas, maple peas Canada

Canada is the world’s largest exporter of dry peas, supplying more than 30% of global trade, with Saskatchewan producing over 50% of the country’s peas each year. The province’s fertile prairie soils, cool growing conditions, and low disease pressure make it an ideal region for cultivating high-quality field peas — including yellow, green, and maple varieties.

At BroadGrain’s Saskatchewan pulse facility, we operate as an established peas processor in Canada, handling whole yellow peas, green peas, and maple peas sourced directly from surrounding farms. Each shipment is carefully cleaned, graded, and prepared for food, feed, and ingredient markets worldwide, supporting our role as a reliable peas exporter in Canada.
