Quality of western Canadian peas 2009



3. Production review

Pea production for 2009 was estimated to be 3.4 million tonnes, which was down from 2008, but still 27% higher than the 10-year average of 2.7 million tonnes. The decrease in production in 2009 was the result of a smaller harvested area and a similar yield to 2008. Saskatchewan accounted for 77% of Canadian pea production, while Alberta and Manitoba accounted for 21% and 2%, respectively.
