China’s total pulse production from Marketing Year 2018/19 (October 2018 until September 2019) is forecast at 4.4 million tons, down about 5 percent from MY2017/18 due to lower harvested area. Pulse demand for feed use, as well as food use is rapidly expanding. MY2018/19 dried pea imports are forecast at 2.1 million tons, up about 10 percent from MY2017/18 due to growing feed demand. MY2018/19 kidney bean exports are forecast at 250,000 tons, up about 5 percent from MY2017/18 due to lower competition in the European Union (EU).
