These beans are considered a rich protein source, resulting in increased demand from fitness-conscious consumers.

Asia-Pacific Dominates the Market

The total fava bean production in Asia-Pacific was 2.5 million metric tons in 2019 which increased to 2.7 million metric tons in 2021.

Growing consumption of roasted seeds as a low-fat snack in India and neighboring countries is among the factors driving demand in the region.
