Peas (dry) Production by Country 2025

Peas, dry production thrives across 98 countries with Russia leading at 3,706,864 tonnes in 2023, projected to reach 3,571,808 tonnes by 2025. The world produced 13,763,335 tonnes in 2023, contracting 3.0% year-on-year. Canada follows with 2,608,833 tonnes, while China produces 1,499,944 tonnes. This agricultural commodity plays vital roles in global food systems and economic development.

🏆 Russia's Pea Power

Russia's 3.7 million tonnes represents 27% of global dry pea production, with steady growth from 2.3 million in 2018. Production concentrates in Central and Volga regions with cool-season climate ideal for peas. Russia grows primarily yellow peas for domestic consumption and export to India, China. The country benefits from large-scale mechanized farming and government support for pulse crops. Challenges include spring frost damage and Ascochyta blight. However, Russia's vast agricultural land and suitable climate ensure continued dominance. The pea protein boom creates new export opportunities as global demand for plant-based protein surges!

🌍 Cool-Season Pulse

Russia produces 3.7 million tonnes, Canada 2.6 million tonnes (world's largest exporter), and China 1.5 million tonnes. India contributes 1.3 million tonnes, USA 900,000 tonnes, and France 600,000 tonnes. Dry peas (yellow, green) provide plant protein for human consumption and animal feed. Processing creates split peas (dal), pea flour, and pea protein isolate (plant-based meat alternative). Climate change affects flowering timing.

🫛 Protein Powerhouse

Dry peas provide protein (25%), fiber, iron, and B vitamins at 341 calories per 100g. Nitrogen-fixing legume improves soil. Culinary uses span split pea soup, dal, pea flour, and pea protein (Beyond Meat uses pea protein). Processing creates yellow/green split peas, pea starch, and protein isolate. Pea protein boom driven by plant-based meat trend.

🌱 Nitrogen Fixer

Dry peas thrive in cool climates (15-20°C) with 90-120 day growing season. Nitrogen-fixing roots improve soil for subsequent crops. Harvested when pods dry on plant. Major diseases include Ascochyta blight and root rot. Pests include aphids and weevils. Breeding programs develop disease resistance and improved protein content for plant-based meat market.

📊 Export Markets

Dry pea prices fluctuate $300-500/tonne. Canada dominates global exports (India, China major importers). Pea protein isolate commands premiums ($3-5/kg) for plant-based meat. Retail trends favor yellow peas (milder flavor), organic peas, and pea protein products. Climate change affects cool-season crops. However, pea protein boom ensures continued demand.

🔮 Plant-Based Future

Global dry pea production projected to grow 2-3% annually through 2030, driven by plant-based protein demand. Pea protein isolate market expanding rapidly. Climate-adapted varieties help cope with warming. Dry peas' nitrogen-fixing and protein content ensure continued cultivation as sustainable protein source.
