The president of a Regina-based grain and processing company expects record acreage seeded to pulse crops in Western Canada this spring.
Murad Al-Katib of AGT Food and Ingredients says lentil prices have hit record levels around 40 dollars a bushel in the past few months.
He anticipates a record of more than ten million acres of lentils and peas to be seeded in Western Canada this spring, up from 7.5 million acres last year.
