Northern Legume Ingredients Ltd (NLI) is established with a clear mandate: to bridge the gap between Canada's premier pulse producers and global food processors. We source, grade, package, and export prime agricultural legumes directly from Saskatchewan, Canada—the world's most productive agricultural grain belt.
Our operation leverages centuries of cumulative prairie farming knowledge, state-of-the-art optical cleaning plants, and an efficient logistical gateway to deliver top-tier ingredients. We guarantee purity, size consistency, and supply chain security for all bulk and containerized legume shipments.
Driving strategic agricultural partnerships and global trade operations between Canada and emerging global food hubs.
Saskatchewan accounts for over 85% of Canada's lentil exports and is a primary global supplier of dry peas and chickpeas. The combination of long sunlight hours, natural nitrogen-fixing soil chemistry, and structured logistical corridors makes Saskatchewan agricultural ingredients highly competitive in nutritional profiles and market pricing.
Our main transit routes originate from farm storage facilities across Regina, Saskatoon, and the southern crop districts, utilizing intermodal rail transit directly to terminal ports in British Columbia and Quebec, securing uninterrupted supplies year-round.
