Croatia: Dried Beans
Croatia imports more than half of its dried bean consumption. In 2013, Croatia imported 5,782 MT of dried beans valued at $9.8 million, mostly from China and Canada. US dry bean exporters have an opportunity to compete for cranberry bean market share, as well as to present the US pinto bean as a supplement or substitute product. Croatia is now a member of the EU, which means that there are no more custom duties for dried beans coming from the US.
