Yorkton has two canola crushing plants—and in less than two years—will also have a pea protein production facility.
Louis Dreyfus will establish the plant at the site of its existing industrial complex.
Construction will start in the coming months and the plant will employ approximately 60 people when it is operating by the end of 2025.
The plant will produce pea protein isolate and non-GMO soy isolate for food processing companies.
Saskatchewan accounts for about 80 per cent of Canadian pea exports.
