Nearly 80 per cent of bean and pulses companies have difficulty in exporting because international bean and pulses prices go down, according to traders from the Bayintnaung sales centre.

"Current bean market is depending on the Indian market. The buying method of India has changed since five years ago. Now they imported little. If they buy, they gave us less price. The green gram and pigeon pea export to India are seriously down," a bean and pulses trader said.

Myanmar has planted green gram in many areas in 2011 and has over 700,000 tons in total. In this year, the qualities of green gram are poor due to the rain.
