Mexico's Bean Import Needs Ease
WASHINGTON - Nov 5/13 - SNS -- Mexico does not need to import beans from outside the North American Free Trade Zone for the foreseeable future, judging from a recent report by the U.S. agricultural attache for the country.
While poor weather has affected production prospects for wheat and corn, output of sorghum, rice and dry edible beans is expected to be slightly than initially expected.
The U.S, agricultural attache said, "Official sources stated that the favorable weather conditions, with a regular rainy season since September, encouraged growers to increase planted areas of dry beans in the main producing states such as Zacatecas, Durango and San Luis Potosi. Moreover, these favorable weather conditions have impacted favorably the expected yields."
