Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada<\/strong>,\u00a0March\u00a03,\u00a02026\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) today announced the\u00a0start of\u00a0commissioning\u00a0for\u00a0its new pea protein isolate (PPI) production facility\u00a0in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs part of our strategy to diversify revenue through value-added products, we are proud to launch our pea protein isolates portfolio, leveraging our proprietary technology developed by our in-house R&D capabilities,\u201d said James Zhou, LDC\u2019s Chief Commercial Officer and Head of the Food & Feed Solutions Platform. \u201cThis development reflects our commitment to providing high-quality, nutritious and high-performing plant-based ingredients that meet evolving customer and consumer needs.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new facility scales production of LDC\u2019s existing pea protein isolates offering, enabling the company to meet growing and diverse market demand.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGlobal demand for pea proteins continues to grow, for its non-allergen and non-GMO status, as well as its versatility across many food applications,\u201d said Charles-Antoine Dubois, LDC\u2019s Global Head of Plant Proteins. \u201cWe are proud to offer clean taste pea protein isolates, sourced from North American farmers with full supply chain traceability, enabled through our upstream integration and engagement across the value chain.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside pea protein, we will also commercialize pea fiber and a proprietary pea starch produced at the new Yorkton facility, for the pet food, building materials and paper industries.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strategically located in one of the world\u2019s largest pea-producing regions, at the site of LDC\u2019s existing oilseeds processing complex, the new pea protein isolate plant is expected to employ some 60 people by the end of 2026 and consolidates LDC\u2019s presence in the country as a key market for the Group.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLDC remains committed to ongoing investment in – and growth with – Saskatchewan, strengthening its long-standing partnership with Canadian farmers,\u201d added Brian Conn, LDC\u2019s Country Manager for Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
