  • “I expect the price for white pea beans to be around $820-850 per metric ton at the beginning of the new season.” 
  • "With our large crop this year, European buyers are now more interested in our white pea beans."
  • “The Ministry of Finance has lifted taxes on agricultural equipment and machinery imports, but we still need the foreign currency in order to import them, and this is often hard to obtain.”
