Earlier Report Observations

The volume of the fresh or chilled peas market in Asia expanded consistently from 17 555 thousand tons in 2018 to 19 300 thousand tons in 2023. This growth was supported by trade policies such as the minimum import price imposed in 2020, which restricted imports and encouraged domestic production. Additionally, the introduction of higher-yielding pea varieties like Arka Apoorva in 2021 contributed to increased output.

In value terms, the market reached 45 833 million US dollars in 2023 after a dip in 2021-2022. The surge in 2023 was linked to shifting consumer preferences toward convenient and nutrient-retaining frozen peas, which gained popularity in urban retail channels.

Throughout the period, retail infrastructure development, including supermarkets and malls, facilitated the sale of packaged peas. Investments in cold storage and quick-freezing technology helped maintain product quality. By 2024, global supply chain factors influenced pea import flows and pricing in the region.
