> India has restricted imports of yellow peas from April 1 through June 30, effectively halting fresh arrivals that Canada typically ships. The three-month period usually accounts for about 750,000 tonnes of Canadian yellow pea exports. Limited exemptions allow some registered imports during the ban.

## Why it matters

Losing a major Indian outlet for Canadian peas raises export competition and may weigh on pea prices, with spillover into feed pulse demand.
