Canada's Yellow Pea Exports Face New 30% Tariff Blow from India

Canadas yellow pea exports face a new challenge as India imposes a 30% tariff, compounding existing trade tensions with China, which had already set a 100% tariff in March.

Beginning November 1, India will impose a 30% tariff on all imported yellow peas, significantly impacting Canadian producers reliant on this export market.
In March, China retaliated against Canada by enacting a 100% tariff on Canadian yellow peas, stemming from trade disputes over Canadian tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.
Saskatchewans Agriculture Minister Daryl Harrison expressed concerns over the tariff situation in a letter to federal ministers of agriculture and international trade, highlighting the challenges for Canadas agricultural sector.
