| Product Description: |
Field peas frequently are
referred to as dry peas. Pea varieties fall
into two main types: yellow cotyledon or green
cotyledon. Field peas also include specialty
types such as marrowfat, maple and Austrian
winter peas grown for specialty confection,
birdseed and forage markets. The food and feed
pea markets have different requirements. Premium
prices are associated with the human food and
seed markets. Selling peas in the premium markets
is a greater challenge than marketing a traditional
small-grain crop. |

Premium pea markets normally are limited and require the grower
to take a more aggressive approach. Growers should identify
pea markets before they produce peas to optimize their ability
to harvest a crop that will meet market standards. Primary field
pea market opportunities are for human consumption, seed and
livestock feed. Edible peas for human consumption and seed are
the premium markets and require high and consistent quality
standards. Field peas have been used for feed in several Asian
countries — most notably Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines.
