How is the supply and demand of mung beans in 2020?

[Brazil]

The largest Brazilian exporter of beans and pulses has reported Brazil’s current scenario as of December 2020. For its domestic varieties:

Despite producing 16 varieties of beans and pulses, Brazilian consumers have a preference for three main varieties of beans- carioca with 61%, cowpea 19%, and black haricot 18%:

   1. Carioca common bean

• The first crop is at the harvest stage right now. However, it will not be enough to replenish regulatory stocks. Surplus for exports will be only available in the second crop from March onwards;
  

   2. Black Haricot common bean

• Following the same trend above, this variety deals with the additional impact of a lower yield during this first crop caused by a long drought. If any surplus is available for exports this season, it will no be seen before March; and
  

   3. Cowpea

• The main crop is grown in the country’s Northeast region, aiming at the domestic markets.
