GPC Ask the Experts South America/
Argentina Dry Beans Panel

SESSION SPONSOR

Argentina’s 2021 dry bean crop is marked by below average yields and smaller than usual caliber sizes, both the result of dry conditions during the months of April and May. With a growing but still minimal internal market, the vast majority of the country’s production is destined for export markets. But, as in other parts of the world, high freight rates are adding significant cost to exports, a situation further complicated by the country’s currency devaluation. Additionally, the issue of container availability is further compounded by historically low water levels on the Parana River, which prevents vessels from taking on full loads at Rosario, a secondary yet still import port for bean exports.

For the industry insider’s take on production volumes, export projections and price indications for Argentina’s alubia, black, cranberry, light red and dark red kidney and mung beans, be sure to catch the Argentina: Dry Beans panel on July 29 at 15:25 GMT, featuring the participation of:
