| Rank | Country | Production (MT) | Share % | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | Myanmar | 2.7 | 8 | Export-oriented producer of mung beans and other pulses; political instability, logistics constraints, and policy changes in key destinations drive high volatility in export availability and pricing. |
| 6 | Argentina | 1.3 | 4 | Export-focused producer of alubia/white beans, black, and colored beans with shipments mainly via Atlantic ports; currency and policy risk periodically distort farmer planting decisions and export pace. |
Major importers
- Brazil Large diversified pulse complex; produces black, carioca/pinto-type, and other dry beans with output spread across multiple regions and cropping windows, allowing counter-seasonal exports.
- India Major pulse producer with significant dry bean and related pulse output mainly for domestic consumption; policy shifts (tariffs, quotas) periodically alter import and export flows.
- China Produces red, mung, and other beans for domestic and export markets; also imports selected pulses where local production and quality do not match demand.
- United States Highly mechanized dry bean sector (pinto, navy, black, kidney) concentrated in the Northern Plains and Midwest; export flows are quality-differentiated, with significant sales into canning and packaged retail segments.
