COSUCRA, THE EMSLAND GROUP & ROQUETTE REPRESENT THE ENTIRE EU PRODUCTION OF YELLOW PEA INGREDIENTS USING A WET PROCESS.

We are facing new challenges in the food sector: customers want cost-effective, healthy diets with less environmental impact. ​
The yellow pea has both functional and sustainable benefits, while also meeting the nutritional requirements of the customer. It is an essential plant-based raw material in this transition towards healthier and more sustainable food options. 

​
COSUCRA, the Emsland Group, and Roquette support sustainable food value chains and are committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. ​
For measuring the environmental impact of yellow pea ingredients from wet processing, COSUCRA, the Emsland Group, and Roquette performed a Life Cycle Analysis in 2022, based on an EU methodology and “Product Category Rules for Starch Industry Products Version 2.1.”
