The global beans market enters June 2025 with a mix of uncertainty and emerging bullish signals. While exporters are experimenting with marginal discounts to stimulate outbound shipments, much of the trade remains cautious, with sellers showing reluctance to offer at lower rates. The market consensus for Myanmar-origin mung beans is for a small price uptick, driven by measured export interest against tighter availability in key supplying countries. Meanwhile, Uzbekistan’s tight green mung bean supply is supporting firmer prices, though downstream buyers are proceeding with caution and are reluctant to chase the market higher. Domestic Chinese sprouts beans show little momentum, with procurement sticking to immediate demand needs, and price stability is expected this week.
Internationally, the latest transactional data show moderate gains in the main Chinese export hubs for mung and kidney beans, reflecting steady demand and constrained supply. However, the global scene is nuanced: Brazilian and European beans trade in subdued fashion, with prices either holding or drifting slightly lower amid lacklustre trading and comfortable stocks. Weather concerns remain muted for now, but traders are keeping an eye on precipitation patterns in Central Asia and northern China that could alter harvest and quality expectations going forward. In this landscape, market players are advised to watch for near-term volatility, as speculative activity and physical demand could tip the balance in either direction.

🌍 Supply & Demand Drivers
- China: Cautious procurement with sellers slow to discount. Mung beans and organic lines are particularly firm as exporters probe for sales, but low inventories provide support. Sprouts beans market flat as downstream only buy to cover spot demand.
- Myanmar & Uzbekistan: Myanmar mung beans set for a small price increase; Uzbekistan’s tight green mung bean supply keeps prices stable, but buyers resist higher levels.
- Europe, Brazil: European and Brazilian offers are little changed, with slightly softer pricing in the absence of strong fresh demand and stabilised inventory levels.
📊 Fundamentals
- Speculative activity is low, with buyers and sellers watching for cues from the physical market and weather outlook.
- Global stocks are moderately comfortable except in Central Asia, where short supplies lend support.
- USDA and China customs data show China remains dominant in mung bean exports, with steady to slightly increasing volumes year on year.
🌦️ Weather Outlook & Crop Impact
- Northern China: Favourable rainfall in major growing regions, supporting crop development, though excess precipitation could cause quality concerns if prolonged.
- Uzbekistan & Central Asia: Drier-than-average conditions are tightening available supply, supporting the price floor for Uzbek-origin beans.
- Myanmar: Seasonal monsoon advances on schedule, underpinning hopes for stable production, but possible late monsoon or heavy rainfall remains a risk factor.

📆 Market Outlook & Trading Recommendations
- Short-term bias: Slightly bullish for Chinese-origin mung and kidney beans as supply tightness and firm sentiment persist.
- Uzbekistan-origin beans: Stable prices but upside potential if supply constraints continue into mid-summer.
- Brazil and Europe: Neutral to slightly soft, monitor for possible recovery post-harvest or export interest from Asia.
- Buyers: Cover near-term needs but avoid overextending at current price highs; look for dips on softer origin beans.
- Sellers: Hold firm or seek incremental price gains, but be prepared to negotiate as buyers remain cautious.
