Mung Beans

The $70m Diversification opportunity in North West Queensland

North West Queensland is a massive region with huge untapped potential for agricultural growth. It is the size of Japan or Germany, with the population of the City State of Monaco. African climatic peers currently produce 10 times as much food per hectare.

Mung was identified in Stage II of this project as a high potential opportunity that fits regional conditions and has a large and attractive global market.

This report forms part of a wider body of research designed to identify opportunities for increasing and diversifying agricultural production in the North West Queensland region.
