Early and smaller sorts of peas are paid 7,50 – 8,00 DKK per kilo while the payment of bigger sorts are 4.00 – 5,00 DKK per kilo. The lowest prices are normally given for first time picking in full developed peas.

In the very beginning of the season higher prices can be given until the peas are fully developed for normal picking. Also if there are extremely many peas to pick, the price can be lower, to be able to follow the market and keep the picking going.

Sugar peas are normally paid about 10,00 DKK per kilo depending on the variety and picking conditions.
