We sat down to chat with Horacio Fragola, Founder of Alicampo, to look at an improved year for pulse yields after consecutive years of drought. We talk about the upcoming pea crop, mung seeding expectations, and Mexico’s move to return a duty imported Argentinian beans.
“According to private estimates, between 110,000 and 120,000 hectares (ha) of peas were planted for the last crop. Production and quality varied significantly by region due to torrential rains, episodes of intense heat, and out-of-season cold spells. In general, people are saying between 250-280 KMT of production, with approximately 25–30% corresponding to yellow peas and the remainder to green peas. If we hadn’t had those issues with the weather, it’s possible the crop could have been above 300 KMT.”
