Pulse Protein 2023 -2024 Trend

Pulse Canada  presented on protein trends at the Pulse and Special Crops Convention. 

Pulse protein use keeps climbing,  a big category is with the dairy markets for human food, and has grown a lot in the pet food market. 
One interesting comment regarding environmental sustainability goals and pork production: 

• 20% reduction in emissions when adding peas to pig feed.
• Pork companies are willing to pay high feed prices for pulses like peas or faba to meet ESG goals as their buyers. End users have targets to hit and it is cheaper to use peas as a feed vs. other measures to reduce carbon footprint.
