Argentine Dry Bean Planting Season Wraps Up, With the Exception of Alubias
June 25, 2020
Argentina’s 2020 Alubia crop
A late May frost damaged about 5% of the bean crop in some of the planting areas. Weather is expected to be good for the remaining harvest through the end of June. To date, quality is good for kidney beans and alubias and we are estimating increased production. Black beans will be mixed, due to the wider production area and frost damage. For cranberries, this was not a good year, and most beans available are small size and regular quality. The 2020 crop is already being shipped, especially black and LRK. Exporters are still cautious when it comes to offering alubias and kidneys, because beans are just getting to the processing facilities but exports are following a healthy pace to date. Full details available in the report posted on our members only webpage.
