Three high-capacity facilities, robotics and AI-enhanced sorting, 118,000 MT of annual design capacity, the midstream infrastructure connecting prairie farms to 35+ export markets.
A recognized global leader in pulse protein with nearly 50 years of legacy. Founded in 1978, Belle Pulses has built a global reputation as a reliable, trusted ingredient supplier, almost entirely by word of mouth.
Each site includes expansion-ready land to scale production and meet rising global demand.
The home plant. Split yellow peas and Chana Dal at capacities of 40,000 MT and 1,000 MT per year, packed on a fully robotic bagging line.
High-volume green and yellow pea processing, splits and whole peas, plus flour milling, with capacities of 40,000 MT and 12,000 MT per year.
Belle Pulses USA: green split and whole peas plus lentils for the US and export markets, with capacities up to 25,000 MT. 51% AGRION, 49% ED&F Man.
Belle Pulses runs fully robotic bagging and slip-sheet systems that automate the entire packaging process, from filling and sealing to stacking. High-speed robotic arms handle up to 15 bags per minute with exact weight accuracy and minimal product breakage, integrating vision-sensor controls for industrial-grade efficiency, lower labour costs and full traceability for global exports.
A $300,000 investment in a Bühler SORTEX optical sorter brings advanced multispectral imaging and intelligent detection algorithms that identify and remove even the most subtle defects in peas and lentils, far beyond human precision. The result: consistent, food-safe output that meets stringent export standards in over 35 countries.

The global dried peas market is projected to expand from $5.54B in 2024 to $8.14B by 2029, an 8.1% CAGR.(1)
The North American peas market is expected to grow from $3.90B in 2025 to $7.13B by 2030.(2)
Yellow pea protein demand is surging on clean-label, plant-based momentum.(3)
Peas fix nitrogen in the soil, reducing synthetic fertilizer needs, and pulses are 1.5–6× more water-efficient per gram of protein.(4)
Pulses are shelf-stable and retain nutritional value for long periods without refrigeration, critical as food insecurity affects 30%+ of the world’s population.(5)
Integral to food and beverage processing, animal feed and pharmaceuticals thanks to high protein content and nutrition.(6)
