Legume Importers. Buying Legumes, Exporting Legumes

It is no secret that legumes are good for us. All legumes, also known as pulses, are an affordable source of protein, iron and zinc. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a daily intake of approximately 10 grams of protein per person. This is because about one-third of the world’s population cannot meet their recommended protein intake through standard diet alone. However, this does not mean that all people can live on legumes alone. While they are excellent sources of specific nutrients such as vitamin B3, vitamin B6 and folic acid, legumes also contain a lot of oxalic acid which can be harmful for people with kidney disease or gout. In this article, we look at the global import and export market for legume importers and exporters.

Importing Legume

First, let’s take a look at the importing legume side. Legume importers can be either countries or populations. In the case of countries, it is important to know that there are no official statistics for imports. One reason for this is that the legume is a very diverse group of products, with thousands of varieties and manufacturing processes. In addition, the legume is often mixed with other ingredients when it is being manufactured. This makes it difficult to trace individual import figures. The most common legume importers are Asia, Europe, North America and South America. Asian countries are importing large amounts of peas, green and yellow lentils, beans and chickpeas. European countries import a large number of different products, such as chickpeas, beans, lentils and peas. North America is importing a large amount of yellow peas, kidney beans, pinto beans and chickpeas. South America imports mainly chickpeas, beans and lentils.

Exporting Legumes

Let’s take a look at the other side of the legume import and export game: Exporting legumes. Legume exporters can be either countries or populations. In the case of countries, it is important to keep in mind that the legume is a very diverse group of products, with thousands of varieties and manufacturing processes. This makes it very difficult to trace individual export figures. The most common legume exporters are Asia, Europe, North America and South America. Asian countries export large amounts of yellow peas, pinto beans, chickpeas and mung beans. European countries export large amounts of peas, yellow beans, red lentils and mung beans. North America has been exporting large amounts of yellow peas, red lentils, red beans and chickpeas. South America exports large amounts of yellow peas, red lentils and yellow beans.

Global export and import of legumes by country

This will give us a better overview of the legume import and export market. The table below shows the top importers and exporters of legumes in 2017. The countries shown in the table are the top five importers and exporters of legumes. The USA imported a total of 1,059,838 metric tons of legumes in 2017, while they only exported 725,835 metric tons. This means that the USA is one of the largest importers of legumes in the world. The main legumes imported by the USA include kidney beans, chickpeas, yellow peas, navy beans and black beans. The top five legume exporters are Canada, India, Argentina, China and Australia.
