Busy Week In Edible Beans

VANCOUVER - Jun 11/10 - SNS -- Dry edible bean markets finished the week's trading on a relatively busy note, with activity reported for new crop product from Argentina and spot shipment from the United States.

Some traders wryly suggested this week experienced a surge in demand as traders around the world cleared their work calendars so they could focus on this year's FIFA world cup matches in South Africa.
