Black Beans — questions buyers ask

Answers from the trading desk. If yours is not here, put it in the enquiry and it will be answered in the reply.

Our export-grade black beans (Phaseolus vulgaris / Vigna mungo) are conditioned to a safe commercial moisture level of 12.5% to 13.0%, with minimum 99% purity and foreign matter below 0.5%. This controlled moisture prevents seed hardening while safeguarding against mould or spoilage during long ocean voyages.

Yes. Available in both Machine Cleaned (MC) and Hand-Picked Selected (HPS) grades with a smooth, glossy jet-black seed coat and clean white eye. They are widely used for industrial canning, food service distribution, Latin American cuisine (frijoles negros), and Asian savoury dishes.

A standard 20ft FCL dry container accommodates 24 metric tonnes (MT) packed in 25 kg or 50 kg PP bags. Full container dunnage and heavy-duty moisture absorption poles are placed inside the container to protect cargo throughout tropical and temperate ocean transit.

We provide FOB Bangkok Port, FOB Laem Chabang, and CIF destination quotes (e.g. Nhava Sheva, Jebel Ali, Hai Phong). Shipments include Certificate of Origin (with Form AI for India where applicable), Phytosanitary Certificate, Fumigation Certificate, and batch inspection reports.
