Harvest dragged on into mid-August, well beyond the traditional window, due to weather delays at both planting and harvest.

The dry bean area is up on lower prices for major commodity crops, but the crop was planted late and frost is a major concern.

Harvest of second crop is wrapping up; third and final crop is in the ground.

If approved, the initial recommendation would allow 2,199 MT of dry beans to enter the country duty-free.

Planting of the third and final crop of the 2018/19 cycle wrapped up in mid-July.
