Official estimates of Ontario White Pea Bean crop may be low

The following was reported as part of the December 6th Statistics Canada crop production report.  “In Ontario, white bean output for 2011 is estimated at 31,800 tonnes, with coloureds at 45,300 – up slightly from 30,400 and 43,800 in October – but far below 2010 production …”
Certainly the 2011 white bean (WPB) crop is ‘far below 2010’ however cumulative tallies of deliveries reported to the Ontario Bean Producers’ (OBPMB) would indicate a 2011 crop of just over 41,000 Mt.
