Two major yellow pea shipments are expected to impact the domestic market in the coming weeks. The vessel Maximos, carrying 35,000 MT of yellow peas, is scheduled to arrive in Pakistan on 20th November. Meanwhile, another vessel, Dubic Galactic, carrying 30,000 MT, is currently at anchored and unable to berth. Market sources report that the Dubic Galactic shipment is under inspection by the Plant Quarantine authorities, and clearance is required before it can be allowed to berth.
Pakistan has imported more than 120,000 MT of yellow peas from January to September 2025. If both the Maximos and Dubic Galactic shipments are cleared and berthed, the additional supply of 65,000 MT will significantly increase domestic availability, potentially exerting downward pressure on local prices.
Current Market Prices of yellow peas are currently trading at around Rs 100 per kg in the local market while international prices for yellow peas are being quoted at USD 295–300 per ton.
Overall, with ample supply entering and sharp drop of pricetraders and buyers are not participating actively in the market, which has also slashed buying activity in the local market.
