Earlier Report Observations

The market for dried shelled peas in Eastern Asia showed considerable volatility between 2018 and 2023. Volume peaked at 4.4 million tons in 2020 before contracting over the subsequent two years, reaching a low of 3.1 million tons in 2022.

A strong recovery occurred in 2023, with the market expanding to 4.1 million tons. This resurgence was fueled by heightened consumer health awareness and a rising demand for plant-based proteins, which broadened the market for pea-derived products. The rapid expansion of e-commerce channels simultaneously improved product accessibility and stimulated consumption.

Entering 2024, the market landscape was shaped by new production guidelines from the Ministry of Agriculture, emphasizing the use of registered seed varieties, scientific cultivation, and mechanized harvesting to boost yields. The prevalence of cost-effective pigeon pea varieties and ongoing enhancements in logistics infrastructure further supported market dynamics, alongside sustained consumer preference for natural food products.
