YORKTON, SASK. – Construction has begun on Louis Dreyfus Company’s (LDC) pea production plant in Yorkton, Sask.
The new pea protein isolate production plant is being built at the site of the company’s existing Yorkton industrial complex and is expected to be operational by the end of 2025, a release said.
“Saskatchewan Pulse Growers is pleased with the announcement that this new pea processing facility will be built in our province. This facility will be a new market opportunity for pulse producers, significantly grow the local economy, and contribute to the expansion of domestic value-added pea processing,” Saskatchewan Pulse Growers board chair Winston van Staveren said.
The addition of the new production plant aligns with Saskatchewan’s efforts to boost the value-added agriculture sector, the release said, and will contribute to the province achieving its 2030 Growth Plan target of $20 billion in annual agri-food exports.
