Ukrainian farmers have increased the sown area for beans for the 2024 harvest by 20% compared to the previous year, covering over 50,000 hectares, as reported by the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine. This makes beans the second most popular leguminous crop after peas in Ukraine. Despite a 20% decrease in 2022 compared to 2021, the bean cultivation area has been restored to pre-war levels. The main bean crops are grown in the western and central regions of Ukraine, accounting for over 55% of the country's total bean production.
