Member Testimonials

“STEP has been a champion of the pulse industry for many years. STEP has done a tremendous amount of work in emerging markets such as South Asia and Africa. As a whole, STEP has a mandate to promote trade from Saskatchewan and around the world. As an industry association, we aren’t selling and exporting directly, but our benefit is we are tied into a key organization helping industry in Saskatchewan expand product sales. We have been involved in STEP missions around the world where we’ve provided more information about the industry and the production of pulses to buyers.”

Carl PottsSaskatchewan Pulse Growers - Saskatoon, SK

“STEP has been a great resource to our company in reaching new markets, enabling us to attend and exhibit at trade shows while adding significantly to our revenues. In addition to the USA, we are now exporting to Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Israel, Vietnam, South Korea, France and the Philippines.”
