Peas Hold Firm
PANAMA - Jun 10/17 - SNS -- Field pea markets maintained their relatively firm tone through the past week, helped by continuing fill in demand among exporters.

By contrast, there is the potential for feed pea sales to Spain to increase in the coming months.

It also expected to affect spring oilseed plantings, which may see increased protein requirements in the coming marketing year.
