2024 Chinese dark red kidney bean crop/
Despite production jump, prices to remain firm

Significant production increase

• This year's dark red kidney bean production in China has seen a remarkable increase, with an estimated output of around 40,000 metric tons compared to last year's 15,000 metric tons. 

• This substantial growth can be attributed to farmers' strategic decision to plant more kidney beans in response to high market prices and low prices for competing crops like corn and soybeans.
