Due to the constant increase of global grain and oil prices in early 2008, the sown areas of Chinese oilseed crops were generally expanded.
In many kidney bean growing regions , kidney
bean growing area was reduced while the soybean sown area was increased. For example, kidney bean sown area of our northeast region was reduced by 20% from 2007.

As the climate of the northeast region was favorable in 2008, kidney bean growth there was generally nice
. Though there was a rather serious drought in
northwest and north regions and the harvest area of kidney bean was reduced, total output of Chinese kidney bean in 2008 is more or less the same as last season due to the increase of yield per unit.

Since the outbreak of the world financial crisis in September of 2008.
The purchasing prices of many agricultural products including kidney bean and other main pulses were considerably reduced from the first half of last year when the prices had kept increasing.

Therefore, huge quantity of products remained in the hands of farmers and no one wanted to buy for several months , thus serious harming the interests of pulses farmers and greatly affecting their enthusiasm for growing pulses.

We hold that the rapid export increase of major pulses varieties is mainly attributed to world price souring of international agricultural products in the first half of 2008, when importers were forced to increase their stock for reducing business risks, but not due to the change of demand in world market of the season.

Owing to the impact of world financial crisis , Chinese export of agricultural products is seriously blocked , and our processing enterprises are facing business difficulties, such as operating under capacity and economic returns reduced. Export enterprises are in a difficult trading position with increased risks of getting back credit.

Due to the economic recession of some countries and their currencies are devalued , we can not get back the money in time after our pulses export, or can by no means get it back.

• The financial crisis leads to rapid decline of our kidney bean export in November—December of 2008, with total export volume in these two months reduced by 22.7% , and the export value reduced by 17.1% from the same period of last year.
• At the same time, a lot of defaults and trading disputes took place.

Forecast and ProspectsForecast and Prospects
1) Chinese pulses sown area of 2009 would further decrease
As the production costs of agricultural products in 2008 were increased and sales in this year declined , it is not only difficult for farmers to increase their income , but also very harmful to the stability of agricultural production.
Pulse Sub-Chamber of Pulse Sub-Chamber of CFNACFNA

In 2009 the Chinese government will continue to adopt policies favorable for agriculture and protect farmers’ enthusiasm for growing grains, including continuously encouraging soybean and corn production. Therefore Chinese farmers would consider growing more soybean.

As pulses including kidney bean growing can not enjoy subsidy and farmers’ confidence in external market environment is weakened , it is expected that sown area of pulses in 2009 would be reduced from last year.

2) Chinese enterprises would strengthen the control of business risks and product quality
Along with the spreading of world financial crisis , the uncertain factors of world market are increasing and the business risks of enterprises are becoming greater. Therefore Chinese suppliers would be more cautious in signing contracts and supplying commodities.

In respect of product quality, Chinese enterprises have been attaching greater importance to creditability and product quality in recent years , and a lot of enterprises bought and installed colour selectors, thus raising processing technologies to meeting the demand of consumers at different levels even better.
