In the US, area seeded to dry peas for 2018-19 is forecast by the USDA to decrease by 24% from last year to 0.9 million acres. This is largely due to an expected fall in area seeded in Montana. With higher yields and lower abandonment, US dry pea production is forecast by the USDA to decrease only marginally to 0.6 Mt. The US exported about 0.2 Mt of dry peas to the Middle East, Africa and China. The US is expected to maintain its market share in 2018-19 with production similar to the previous year.
