At a glance


  • “Faba beans are a huge commodity for Ethiopia and last year we produced 1.049 MMT, of which around 15 KMT was exported.”
  • “I think if we were to improve our agricultural practices, Ethiopia could produce green mung beans in huge quantities – especially as it is a short cycle crop.”
  • “We don't know yet how much we stand to gain from gaps in the global red bean market, but our new crop will be coming at the end of November with shipping starting in December.”
