1. Seasonality Green peas, a winter crop. The prices of peas are lower during harvest months (Nov to Feb) and higher during off-season months.
2. Conditions of the Weather: Unfavorable climate conditions like heavy rains, or unseasonal freezing can lead to crop damage and price increases.
3. Transport Costs : An increase in fuel prices, or logistical bottlenecks, affects retail prices throughout the country.
4. Market Demand During wedding or festive seasons, the demand for green beans increases, which influences retail prices.
5. Import dependency: In the months when peas are not in season, some suppliers import frozen ones, which can be more expensive.

Green Peas Growing Season is Pakistan

Both consumers and producers must understand the season for growing green peas in Pakistan . Peas grow best when they are grown in a moderate climate.

Ideal Sowing time

• Sowing Period : Mid October to Mid November

In areas with a colder climate, such as Murree or parts of Gilgit-Baltistan where frost cycles are more frequent, the timing of sowing will vary. Green peas are naturally grown in Punjab and Sindh during winter, when temperatures are optimal.

Climatic requirements

• Temperature. Optimal growth occurs at between 10degC to 25degC.
• Soil Well-drained loamy soils between pH 6.0 to 7.5 are best.
• Rainfall Moderate irrigation should be used; avoid waterlogging.

Green Peas are cultivated in many regions of Pakistan

1. Punjab. Major districts such as Faisalabad Sahiwal Okara and Sheikhupura produce high-quality green peas.
2. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Abbottabad and Swat produce peas with rich flavors due to their cooler climates.
3. Sindh While not traditionally known as an area for pea farming in the past, greenhouses with drip irrigation have allowed it to grow in areas like Hyderabad or Tando Allahyar.
4. Balochistan : Due to the colder winters in some districts, like Quetta, pea farming is being explored.
