Burmese Pulses Have Earned Nearly $360 Million In Foreign Exports, With Black Gram Exports Earning Nearly $200 Million

Recent reports from Myanmar media indicate that the country's pulse crop export industry has achieved significant results in the nearly two months of the 2024-2025 fiscal year, according to the latest data released by the Ministry of Commerce. During this brief period, Myanmar successfully exported up to 400,000 tons of pulses, achieving a remarkable performance and earning $357,014,000 in export revenue. This figure not only showcases the competitiveness of Myanmar's pulses in the global market but also further drives the country's economic development.

It is worth noting that black lentils played a significant role in the 400,000 tons of pulse exports. According to statistics, more than 160,000 tons of black lentils were exported, earning nearly $150 million in revenue. Black lentils are highly valued for their superior quality and unique taste, and are highly sought after in international markets, becoming a highlight of Myanmar's pulse export industry.

In addition to black lentils, green gram is also an important component of Myanmar's pulse export industry. During the same period, Myanmar exported more than 120,000 tons of green gram, earning $77 million in revenue. The export of green gram not only brings substantial economic benefits to Myanmar but also further enhances Myanmar's status in the global pulse market.

Myanmar has a thriving pulse crop cultivation industry, with widespread cultivation areas and diverse varieties. Among them, black gram and green gram are the main varieties of bean cultivation in Myanmar, occupying a large market share. In addition, Myanmar also grows various other beans, such as adzuki beans and chickpeas, which also have competitiveness in the international market.

The export of Myanmar's beans mainly relies on sea transportation and border trade. Sea transportation has the advantage of large transportation volume and low cost, becoming the main way of Myanmar's bean export. Border trade, on the other hand, has the flexibility and convenience, providing a powerful supplement to Myanmar's bean export. Through these two ways, Myanmar's beans can enter the international market smoothly and win widespread recognition.

The export of Myanmar's beans not only brings economic benefits to the country, but also promotes the development of agricultural industry and the increase of farmers' income. At the same time, it also opens up new channels for Myanmar's international trade and drives the country's economic diversification. With the increasing global attention to health and nutrition, beans, as a nutritious food, have a growing market demand. Therefore, the prospect of Myanmar's bean export is very broad, and is expected to continue to maintain a good development trend in the future.

In addition, the Myanmar government also attaches great importance to the development of bean export industry, and has formulated a series of policies and measures to support and promote the healthy development of the industry. These policies include providing financial support, strengthening technological research and development, and promoting superior varieties, which provide a solid guarantee for Myanmar's peanut exports.

In summary, Myanmar's peanut exports have achieved significant export results in the past two months of the 2024-2025 fiscal year, not only bringing substantial economic benefits to the country, but also further enhancing its status in the global peanut market. In the future, with the continuous growth of global market demand and the strong support of the Myanmar government, Myanmar's peanut exports are expected to continue to maintain a good development trend, injecting new impetus into the country's sustainable economic development.
