Dried shelled broad and horse beans market in Russia

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the Russian dried shelled broad and horse beans market expanded from 7 612 t to 8 435 t in volume. This growth was supported by state-led import substitution policies, including subsidy programs for legume crops and import quotas on seeds, which bolstered domestic production. In 2020, the temporary suspension of mandatory registration for GMO products further simplified production and import processes, contributing to the market's rise.

After 2020, the market volume contracted sharply, falling to 2 908 t by 2023. This downturn coincided with the phased introduction of mandatory digital labeling for dried beans, starting in September 2021 and expanding in 2022, which increased packaging and compliance costs for producers. Concurrently, export shipments rose substantially, diverting supply away from the domestic market. In 2023, production saw a modest recovery as sown areas for legume crops grew by 3.5%, partly offsetting the decline in available domestic volume.
