Bi-weekly bulletin Volume 19 numero 19

Canadian dry bean production has increased significantly during the past ten years and Canada became the third
largest exporter of dry beans in the world in 2004, accounting for 11% of world exports. The value of Canadian
exports peaked at $227 million in 2003-2004, but fell to $199 million in 2004-2005 and $191 million in 2005-2006. Canadian dry bean exports are forecast to increase in 2006-2007 because of strong demand and higher Canadian supply. This issue of the Bi-weekly Bulletin examines the situation and the outlook for dry beans.
