Well, it was an excellent trip to India. We had some expectations, but they were exceeded with the great welcome we had there. We had Gordon Bacon with us from the pulse industry. Gordon's a tremendous representative of that industry. In the discussions we had, there is a growing demand for supplies in India. They're talking about pulses and protein requirements doubling and tripling in the next five to ten years, and I can certainly see that happening. We see that same type of thing happening in China and other emerging markets around the world.
But specific to India, right now they're in the process of buying some million tonnes of pulse crops from us. Within the next two to three years we could see that double very easily. And it's not the Canadian capacity, it's the Indian capacity at the other end to be able to offload, handle, fumigate, and store this product. So we're working with them on that. There is tremendous opportunity to move forward with pulses and canola in India. We were quite surprised. They have access to palm oil and safflower and different things, but they are looking at the top-end oils like canola. They're talking about doing some wonderful things with that.
We toured one facility where all they use is organic soybeans and they're making the soy sauce and so on. They've been in business for quite some time. It's probably the highest-rated soy sauce in the Pacific rim. Again, they're looking at expanding their markets as they get their feet underneath them and move forward. So there are tremendous opportunities there.
There are great health advantages to the pulse crops when you talk about heart health and diabetes and so on. Studies have been done on pulses and more consumption of pulses, and those go over well in countries as they're emerging and buying more as well.
