The article discusses the stable price of black beans in Brazil, around R $ 350 for type 1, with a decreasing price gap for lower types due to high demand for beans with sprouts or without shine, which are dried. Packers find a better margin with the lower priced beans. For the second harvest, producers in Mato Grosso, a major exporter, are considering beans planted under contract, such as cowpeas, Tumucumaque, Nova Era beans, mung, and azuki, which have a planting window of about 65 days and the option for pre-selling with contracts to eliminate liquidity and price risk. There is also interest in contracting less commonly planted beans in Mato Grosso, such as red, brindle, and black beans, due to the potential for profitable prices.
