Mumbai, 08 Feb 2024 (Commoditiescontrol):Statistics Canada's latest data indicates a significant surge in Canada's field pea exports for January, marking a notable increase compared to December's figures.

The report shows that January's export shipments reached an impressive 250,071 metric tons (MT), a substantial rise from the 132,524 MT recorded in the previous month.
