The Overview Of Mung Bean

Central Queensland soils and climate are particularly well suited to mungbean production – in fact Biloela is where the Australian mungbean industry began in the 1970s.

It is a valuable export crop for Australia. The average annual production over the past five years has been 90,000 tonnes, according to the Australian Mungbean Association (AMA), and 90 per cent of the crop is exported.

Currently, mungbean is cultivated on more than 6 million hectares worldwide (about 8.5% of global pulse cultivation area) and global annual production is 3 million tons (5% of global pulse production). India is the largest mungbean producing country followed by China and Myanmar

Mung beans are a warm-season crop and take between 90-120 days to mature. Mung beans can be grown outside or inside. Prior to sowing seed, prepare the bed. Mung beans like fertile, sandy, loam soil with excellent drainage and a pH of 6.2 to 7.2 in which Queensland Australia has the best suitable condition for the best harvests.

Green mungbean is a legume plant with tiny seed size. Yet, it has a lot of fantastic health benefits.

In Vietnam, mung bean is not invested in research like soybean and peanut. However, thanks to strong consumer demand at home and abroad, mung bean has received the attention of many distribution companies.

The import value of Vietnam was USD 133.76M, and the import volume was 111.61M metric ton in 2020.
