Boreal Trade summary
Avena Foods, which also trades as Best Cooking Pulses, processes pulses and oats. The record lists whole, split and decorticated pulses, plus oats.
Its pulse range covers peas, chickpeas and lentils. Its website describes polished green split peas as the product it has long been known for.
The pulses are sold in bulk. Avena's site says it supplies whole, split and decorticated pulses internationally.
Best Cooking Pulses was a family-owned company active in the international pulse trade since 1936. It joined Avena Foods in January 2018, according to trade press.
Avena also mills oats, with a mill in Regina. Trade press describes it as a specialty miller of oat and pulse ingredients for food manufacturers.
The pulse operation is recorded at Rowatt, Saskatchewan. Plant size, volumes and certifications are not established here.
This suits importers and distributors buying bulk peas, lentils and chickpeas, especially split or polished peas. It may also suit buyers who want oats from the same supplier.

Approval means the destination authority has listed the establishment. It does not tell you whether the company is currently shipping.
Canada publishes an approved-establishment list for Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, and none for Thailand or the Philippines, so those two read "not yet verified" for every company.
Elsewhere it means we have not found the company on that market's list, never that they are unregistered.
