Field pea markets were generally unchanged on the week against steady export movement from
both Canada and the United States. This year's harvest is wrapping up in both countries.
Canada's now 92% complete, compared to almost 99% by this time during the past five years and
fully complete at this time last year.
Dry edible bean prices finished the week on an easier note in both international and North
American markets. Excellent harvest progress in the United States has increased the supply of
product available to processors.
Bigger dry edible bean crops in the United States and Canada have pushed available supplies of
dry edible beans for the coming season above the recent average for the continent.
In its latest crop report the USDA pegged bean output in the United States at 1.317 million MT,
while Statistics Canada had pegged Canadian output at 300,500 MT last month. By contrast, dry
bean production in Mexico is expected to be down for the coming season, dropping 10% to 1.2
million MT.
Combined production across the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) region is up
6% over last year at a forecast 2.817 million MT. Carry-in stocks from the previous marketing
year are down from last year, with the result the increase in the available supply of beans is only
1% at 2.93 million MT.
