Popis: Legumes are grown on an area of about 700 000 ha (nearly 10% of the total arable land), of which 70% is devoted to food legumes (faba beans, lentils, chickpeas, peas) and the rest to forage legumes (alfalfa, berseem, vetch). In the past 10 years, the area has increased significantly but production has remained the same for food legumes. The consumption of food legumes and the amounts exported decreased tremendously.
