WHY REGISTER

Don’t miss this chance to expand your pulse business at this regional convention in Qingdao and connect with more than 100 Chinese buyers.

  Do business with China?  

China’s pulse market is evolving rapidly, with shifting trade dynamics creating new opportunities for global producers. China’s return to the Canadian market is helping restore confidence in export movement after months of trade disruption.

  Do you trade in yellow peas?   

Historically, Canada supplied more than 1.5 million metric tons of yellow peas to China each year. Trade came to a halt after China imposed tariffs on Canadian peas. Now, with those tariffs removed and China’s pulse demand expected to continue growing, this is a key moment to reconnect directly with buyers and explore new opportunities in the market.

  Mung bean exporters — this is your market!   

China imported nearly 580,000 tons of mung beans in 2025 and has consistently imported at least 575,000 tons annually since 2022. This makes China one of the most reliable buyers in the global market. At the same time, India is steadily emerging as a major supplier of mung beans to China.

In today’s global environment, having dependable, long-term buyers is more important than ever. Join us in Qingdao to connect with trusted importers and strengthen your position in this growing market.
