From March 1-5, 2026, Pulse Canada led a delegation to India alongside representatives from Alberta Pulse Growers, Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, and the Canadian Pulse and Special Crops Trade Association.
The visit came at a pivotal time. Canada and India have officially announced the launch of negotiations toward a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA). In addition, the trip saw the creation of a Canada–India Pulse Protein Centre of Excellence. Both announcements signal renewed engagement and a shared interest in a more stable trading relationship.
Against that backdrop, the aim of the mission was to spend time on the ground with traditional customers, partners and decision-makers to better understand the market and strengthen the relationships that underpin Canada’s pulse exports AND to meet with new non-traditional players who will shape the future of the pulse partnership between Canada and India.
For Canadian farmers and exporters, that kind of face-to-face engagement matters.
