**Report Highlights:**

China's edible bean, pea and lentil production is forecast to reach 4.5
MMT in 2006---an increase of 28 percent from the previous year due to
higher kidney bean prices. Responding to price increases, farmers are
expected to raise the pulse acreage by about 20 percent in 2006. China
pulse exports are forecast to rise 6 percent to reach 850,000 metric
tons in MY06/07 as a result of the predicted increase in production.
China's dry pea imports are forecast to continue rising, resulting from
the growing consumption of vermicelli both domestically and in export
markets.

# Summary {#summary-1}

China's edible bean, pea and lentil production (collectively termed
pulses) is forecast to reach 4.5 MMT in 2006---an increase of 28 percent
from the previous year due to higher kidney bean prices. During 2005,
the Chinese government's policy favored grain and oilseed production;
consequently, the acreage for corn, wheat and soybeans rose while pulse
acreage declined. Pulse farmers receive no support from the government.
The reduced kidney bean production has resulted in price increases for a
variety of pulses, including white and red kidney beans. Responding to
price increases, farmers in Northeastern and Northwestern China are
expected to increase the pulse acreage by about 20 percent in 2006.
China's pulse exports are forecast to rise 6 percent to reach 850,000
metric tons in MY06/07 as a result of the predicted increase in
production. China's pulse exports in MY05/06 are estimated at 800,000
metric tons, 5 percent lower than the previous year. On the import side,
China's dry pea imports are forecast to continue rising, as a result of
increased consumption of vermicelli both domestically and in export
markets.

Besides for use in vermicelli production, imported dry peas are used for
processing various types of instant noodles in coastal regions, where
the imported peas are more competitively priced than the domestically
produced peas.

# Pulse Production Forecast Up

China's pulse production is forecast to reach 4.5 million metric tons in
2006, a million metric tons higher than the estimate for 2005. Regarded
as a minor crop, pulse production accounts for less than one percent of
China's annual grain and feed output. The forecast increase in kidney
bean production contributed the most to the increase in overall pulse
production in 2006.

In 2005, in response to higher prices and government support for grains,
farmers planted more rice, wheat and soybeans. As a result, pulse
acreage declined. The decline in both acreage and production in 2005
pushed wholesale prices upward not only for kidney beans but also for
other pulses.

Trade sources estimate that the prices for some kidney bean varieties
such as white kidney beans and red kidney beans increased by 20-30
percent in 2005. Responding to higher bean prices, farmers will plant
more kidney beans in the major pulse producing regions: Heilongjiang,
Jilin, Inner Mongolia, and Northwestern China.

There is no Chinese government agency monitoring the domestic market
prices of pulses. Customs data on kidney beans do not show prices on
bean varieties, but the average kidney prices in January 2006 were 22
percent higher than the same period during the previous year. Customs
data show that kidney bean exports accounted for more than half of
China's pulse export value in MY04/05 and MY03/04; the northern ports of
Dalian and Tianjin export more than 80 percent of the kidney beans.

As mentioned in previous reports, the low production cost for pulses in
China will continue to keep the kidney beans competitive for the export
market in the years to come.

**Estimates on China's 2005 Pulse Production Down**

Official figures do not exist for China's pulse production. At the end
of February each year, the National Statistical Bureau (NSB) releases
the data on China's overall grain production for the previous year. More
specific data on major crops including rice, wheat and corn is released
in mid May. Based on this data, FAS Beijing estimates output of minor
crops like pulses. Post's estimate on pulses in 2005 was based on a wide
range of contacts including trade sources, China's Chamber of Commerce
and Ministry of Agriculture.

China's 2005 edible bean, pea and lentil production estimate is at 3.5
MMT, a reduction of 28 percent from the previous year due to reduced
acreage for pulse crops in major grain producing regions.

# Processed Pulse Exports Continue Growth

China exports large amounts of adzuki bean paste to Japan and South
Korea. In the past, adzuki bean paste fell into the same category as
other processed products. To better monitor trade of this product, China
Customs started to use HTS 20059092 exclusively for adzuki paste trade
in 2004. According to the customs data, China's adzuki paste exports
totaled 84,364 metric tons and were valued at \$62.4 million in 2005,
and 12,421 metric tons and \$26.4 million in 2004. Trade sources
estimate that China's adzuki paste trade will continue to grow in the
coming years.

# Pulse Stocks Insignificant

There is no change from FAS Beijing's previous 2004 pulse report. No
official stock figures are available for pulses. Consistent with
previous USDA pulse reports, Post estimates stocks at zero. However,
trading companies reportedly store small volumes of dry pulses near port
cities in northern China where it is drier and less costly. Most pulse
products exit China from Qingdao or Tianjin for markets in Japan, South
Korea, Cuba, and other countries.

# 

# Dry Pea Situation

Dry peas accounted for nearly all of China's pulse imports over the past
few years. Dry peas, mostly food grade yellow or non-green pea varieties
from Canada, are imported by food processors in northern China,
primarily in Shandong Province, for vermicelli production. The noodles,
traditionally made from mung beans, are a popular dish in China that can
also be made from dry peas. China's vermicelli processing industry is
concentrated in Yantai City, Shandong Province.

While the Chinese pulse industry has representative associations, the
Chinese dry pea industry does not. Provincial governments began trying
to coordinate with processors to establish a vermicelli association.
There are a significant number of vermicelli producers, including over
140 processors in Yantai alone, because of strong local demand for
vermicelli in many Chinese dishes and increased demand from foreign
markets. As such, production and exports are forecast to continue.

In addition to use in vermicelli production, imported dry peas are used
in the production of various types of instant noodles in coastal
regions, where the imported peas are more competitively priced than
their domestically produced counterparts peas.

# The Maximum Level of Selenium in Food to Restrict Dry Pea Imports in 2006 

China published and put into effect a new national standard Maximum
Level of Contaminants in Food (GB 2762-2005) on October 1, 2005. The
standard stipulates the maximum levels of selenium, lead, mercury,
cadmium, arsenic, aluminum, and other food contaminants. The maximum
level of selenium in cereals is 0.3mg/kg. The maximum level of selenium
is unchanged and has been in place since 1991.

In March of 2006, the Chinese General Administration of Quality
Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) issued a warning notice
on imported dry peas from Canada and the United States. According to the
notice, the selenium content in two U.S. shipments of dry peas exceeded
the maximum level. The notice required China Inspection and Quarantine
(CIQ) officials to strengthen the inspection of imported dry peas and to
deny entry to those shipments with a content exceeding the maximum level
of selenium.

Trade sources report that they are very cautious now about importing
Canadian and U.S. dry peas. Post looks to industry to discern whether
these standards will be problematic for U.S. products and to coordinate
with Post on the issue. Industry is encouraged to consult with Post
should there be more selenium problems with U.S. exports to China as
Post will be monitoring for future trade problems.

# China's Vermicelli Exports 

#

varieties. China's vermicelli output during 2005 was between 150,000 and
200,000 metric tons. Overall demand for dry peas, mung beans and broad
beans that are processed into starch is estimated at 400,000 metric tons
in 2005. Industry sources estimate that the sector's growth rate could
be over 5 percent annually in the next few years.

Regarding opportunities for U.S. dry pea exports to China, marketing
activities by the U.S. industry would help Chinese vermicelli processors
become more familiar with U.S. dry pea varieties. During the previous
market years, Canadian dry peas accounted for most of China's dry pea
imports. According to trade sources, the price of U.S. dry peas has not
been as competitive as that of Canadian dry peas.

# Majority of China's Pulse Consumed Domestically

Except for kidney beans, whose production is driven by export
opportunities, the majority of China's pulses are consumed domestically,
as shown by the trade table and Post's estimate of pulse production.

# 

# Tariff and VAT Rate 

China's Tariff and VAT Rate in 2006 are unchanged from 2005, except for
the ASEAN countries. Under a free trade agreement between China and
southeastern Asian countries, the import tariff rate on pulses from
these countries was reduced to zero in 2006.
