Dry bean exports are down from the explosive sales seen one year ago. In the Dry Bean Scene, U.S. Dry Bean Council Executive Director Rebecca Bratter says sales are expected to pick up in key export markets but will not match the totals seen in the 2020-2021 marketing year. All exports have faced headwinds from the supply chain bottlenecks and a global trend toward self-sufficiency. This week’s Dry Bean Scene is brought to you by Northarvest Bean Growers Association.
Founded in 1976, Northarvest Bean Growers Association (NBGA) represents the largest group of dry bean farmers in America, working together to fund research, promote, and produce the finest beans in the world.
