Ongoing tensions between Canada and India remain a concern

The ongoing tensions between India and Canada remain a concern especially for provinces like Saskatchewan that export a large volume of pulses into India. 

AGT Foods is one of the largest suppliers of value-added pulses, staple foods and food ingredients in the world.

Murad Al Katib, President and CEO of AGT Foods says they are closely monitoring the situation.

"I have an optimism that the channels will remain open. You know, in the interim, we are seeing bidders at the farm gate that are pulling back of course.
