Japan paid the most for marrowfat peas in Q3 2026: USD 960/MT, up 1.4% from USD 947/MT in Q2. Import costs, currency costs and steady demand from snack makers keep Japanese prices above the other three markets. Worldwide, the average rose 1.3% to USD 850/MT from USD 839/MT, mostly because higher farm and freight costs and firm demand from canners and snack makers led growers and importers to raise prices in all four markets. What about Q4 2026? We expect a global average somewhere in the USD 830-895/MT range, with harvest results in Canada and Australia, demand from canners and snack makers, freight costs and exchange rates doing most of the work.
Marrowfat peas are large, mature green peas that are left to dry in the field. They are soaked and canned as mushy peas, and they are used to make coated snack peas and for ready meals. Prices in this report refer to dried marrowfat peas for food use in bulk and are quoted per metric ton. They depend on harvest size, quality and demand from canners and snack makers.
Canada and Australia grow most of the traded marrowfat peas, with a smaller crop in the United Kingdom. Farmers let the peas dry on the plant and harvest them in late summer, and exporters clean and size the seed. The United Kingdom, Japan and the Netherlands are the main buyers. Premium prices over standard field peas reflect the size and color requirements.
Prices should rise modestly through the rest of 2026. Farm and freight costs are firm and demand from canners and snack makers is steady. Large harvests in Canada limit the size of the increase. Year on year, the global average has moved from USD 815/MT to USD 850/MT, an increase of 4.3%.
The risks for Q4 are balanced, with no clear tilt either way. What could push prices higher? Poor yields, color and size problems, higher freight costs or stronger snack demand would lift prices. What could pull them lower? Larger harvests, lower freight costs or weaker demand from canners would lower prices.

| Global Average | 830 - 895 | Firm farm and freight costs support a modest rise |
| Canada | 740 - 800 | Large harvests keep prices lowest |
| Australia | 780 - 845 | Export demand supports prices |
| United Kingdom | 860 - 930 | Import costs and canning demand support prices |
| Japan | 935 - 1,015 | Import costs and snack demand keep prices highest |
