Dry Beans and Pulses Production, Processing, and Nutrition. Группа авторов

producing countries, with India alone producing about 75% pigeonpeas. Ethiopia, with 41% of total world production, was the top producer of vetches in 2019, while India led in the production of other minor pulses with 20% global share.

Among all pulse crops, only dry beans, chickpeas, and lentils are traded globally on a wider scale (FAO 2020). Cowpeas and other pulses are traded in the world market on a much smaller basis but FAO does not report data on these pulse crops. The major exporting and importing countries for dry beans, chickpeas, and lentils are listed in Table 1.3. Myanmar, Russian Federation, and Canada were the top exporters of dry beans, chickpeas, and lentils in 2019, with 23.92, 21.61, and 54.28% share of total exports, respectively. Other countries among top‐five exporters were Argentina, USA, China, and Canada (dry beans), Australia, Turkey, USA, and Mexico (chickpeas), and Australia, Turkey, USA, and UAE (lentils). The top‐five importing countries were India, Brazil, Turkey, USA, and China (dry beans), Egypt, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Turkey (chickpeas), and India, Bangladesh, Turkey, UAE, and Sri Lanka (lentils). It is noted that UAE, which is not a major producer of chickpeas and lentils, imports these quantities in bulk and exports them in bulk and retail size packaging.
