Market Overview

Legumes, belonging to the Fabaceae botanical family, include a wide variety of nutrient-dense seeds such as beans, lentils, peas, chickpeas, soybeans, and others. These crops are popular not only for their high protein and fiber content but also for their key role in sustainable farming. Their natural ability to fix nitrogen makes them especially valuable in crop rotations, reducing dependence on synthetic fertilizers and improving soil fertility. Additionally, legumes have a strong role in sequestering carbon, contributing to lower environmental impact in agriculture.

Market Segmentation
