Earlier Report Observations
The Yemeni market for dried shelled broad and horse beans grew from 5,872 t in 2018 to 9,554 t in 2020, with imports skyrocketing from 705 t to 4,397 t. This surge was fueled by a wartime decline in livestock, which made beans a crucial protein alternative, while domestic production struggled due to low rainfall and the expansion of khat cultivation.
Market volume continued climbing to 13,528 t by 2023, as imports stayed high and local production rose after 2021. Agricultural support for wheat in Al-Jawf Governorate, including better seeds and higher productivity, likely aided bean farming, but persistent conflicts and lack of targeted policies limited further expansion in 2023.
