Green Mung Bean - Turkmenistan

Yigit is an Economic Society with 12 years of experience growing a variety of vegetables such as mung beans, garlic, onions, and tomatoes. The company focuses on having a diverse product portfolio and invests a great deal in cultivating new crops. Their current major markets are Russia, Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, and Ukraine but want to focus more on the East Asian market by providing organic quality products at competitive prices.

The company uses specially covered rooms for storing the newly harvested mung beans as well as the stock from the previous year which can be stored up to a year. The mung beans are usually packaged in 25kg pp bags. The products are then delivered mainly by truck or train, but can also be shipped through the Turkmenbasy port in the Caspian sea which is located approximately 500km away from the production site.

"Yigit" Economic Society's production areas are located in the Dashoguz, Lebap, Mary, and Ahal regions in Turkmenistan. Mung beans are best grown in warm and dry climates, requiring at least eight to 10 hours of sunlight each day, readily cultivated in Turkmenistan’s arid summers which are strikingly hot and sunny. The harvest starts in June and lasts until September, although the crops can be stored and purchased year-round. Around 100-1000 workers participate in the farming process and the company produces an annual volume of 2000 metric tons from which they export approximately 1200 metric tons.

The company sells a wide variety of good-quality products, available in large quantities that are sold at a comparatively low price. They also provide samples for their customers upon request.
