The import of dried shelled kidney beans and white pea beans to the US is projected to decline from 28.385 million kilograms in 2024 to 25.823 million kilograms by 2028. In 2023, this value was significantly higher, indicating a contraction in import volumes. Year-on-year, a downward trend is observed with an average decrease of about 2% per year.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer demand towards locally sourced beans, potential trade policy changes affecting import volumes, and the impact of climate change on bean production in exporting countries which might further influence US imports.
