Economic aspects of import of legumes

Their import is influenced by various economic factors. Of key importance are:

Exchange rate fluctuations of the national currency, which affect the cost of imported products and determine the competitiveness of local producers.
Logistics costs, including the costs of transportation, storage, customs clearance of goods. On average, they make up 15-20% of the total price of the goods.
Seasonal factors affecting supply volumes and pricing on the domestic market.

Pea Import Features

Peas are an important legume crop imported to Russia. The main volume of supplies falls on the commodity items "dried peas" (HS code 0713 10) and "canned peas" (HS code 2005 40).

Pea imports are characterized by seasonality - the peak of supplies occurs in the autumn-winter period. This is due to the peculiarities of consumption of this crop in Russia, as well as the need to replenish stocks after the end of the local harvest season.

Specifics of bean imports

Beans occupy a special place in the structure of legume imports. The following main types of imported beans are distinguished:

Red (Red Kidney).
White (Navy Bean).
Black (Black Turtle).
Pinto.

Most of the imported beans come to Russia dried. This is due to their longer shelf life and ease of transportation.

Prospects for the Development of Imports

The market for imported products in Russia is demonstrating a steady growth trend. Experts predict an increase in supply volumes by 7-10% annually in the next few years.

The main growth drivers are:

Growing demand for healthy food.
Development of the legume processing segment.
Expansion of the product line.

Quality requirements for imported legumes

All imported legumes must comply with the technical regulations of the Customs Union "On food safety" (TR CU 021/2011), including control of moisture content, impurities and pests.

Each batch undergoes mandatory phytosanitary control. This prevents the import of low-quality products and ensures consumer safety.
