Beans From China May
Soon Be On Costa Rican
Dinner Tables
Soon Costa Ricans will
be serving Chinese and
Argentinian beans as the
government places China
and Argentina ahead of
the United States and
Canada for bean import.
The manager in charge of
the bean program for the
Ministerio de
Agricultura, Juan Sibaja,
said that the monitoring
of bean sales indicate
that there are more
black beans on the
market than the red and
that Honduras and
Nicaragua are out for
purchases as those
countries have their own
shortage problems.
Sibaja added that 75% of
all beans to be consumed
in Costa Rica after July
will be imported, while
25% of the beans on the
supermarket shelves will
be from local
production.
