Earlier Report Observations

The dried shelled peas market in the MENA region experienced a period of strong expansion between 2018 and 2022. The total market volume grew from 213 thousand tons to 433 thousand tons, with a particularly sharp increase of over 40% recorded in 2020.

Following the peak in 2022, the market volume contracted to 329 thousand tons in 2023. This adjustment marked a shift from the preceding years of rapid growth.

In 2024, trade flows remained active, and market dynamics were influenced by increased state investment in integrated agricultural development projects, such as Egypt's South Valley (Toshka) project, and a continued consumer shift toward plant-based protein, which bolstered demand for dried peas.
