WatersEdge Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 OK, I'm in. How many kilos, tons, trucks, ships of Mung Bean would you like? This is the bean seed used for common salad / stir fry bean sprouts. I farm right in the middle of Mung Bean heaven at Mae Sot. I'll have it out on the next truck headed your way. Going price for beans fresh from the field, 2009 harvest only days old is B20/kg, field rough not yet screen sorted I'll estimate that screen cleaned beans available in another month, will cost around B30/kg I have 5-8 tons of December 2008 crop remaining, screened but with a few weevil in it, I'll sell for the same price. Depending on how strictly you define Organic, it might be a problem...these beans follow the Corn crop, and so receive no new NPK fertilizer, just pick up residual from the Corn, with some farmers using a bit of insecticide, and a hormone to encourage the vines to set more pods If you have 70 days to wait, tell me how much true organic you'd like to order, and I will grow them during dry season on goat & pig manure with fish pond sprinkler water. Planting them as early as next week for mid January delivery. If Mung Bean don't completely fill the order, tell me what else you'd like. I have a whole farm growing just field corn, which is good if you raise hogs and goats, but a better price point always wins. By the way, for any enterprising home hobby business enthusiasts, Bean Sprouts are a great business to have in the large population centers, as they require some clean well drained sprouting trays / screens and a couple of days to tend them twice a day. Market price of sprouts is around B15/kg, so imagine how many times the dry seed weight is multiplied, considering that a bean sprout is mostly water weight.
