About Field Beans
Field Beans (Dolichos lablab, also called Lablab bean or Hyacinth bean) are a nitrogen-rich legume crop cultivated across India for culinary and nutritional purposes. The beans are harvested from mature pods and dried to optimal moisture content for long-term storage. Rich in plant-based protein (20-25%), fiber, and essential amino acids, field beans are staple ingredients in Indian cuisine and increasingly popular in health-conscious global food markets.
Indian field bean production is concentrated in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu, where tropical climate supports high-yielding cultivation. The beans are processed through mechanical cleaning, sortex separation, and grading to ensure premium export quality. Post-harvest handling follows strict food safety protocols including HACCP certification and pesticide residue testing.
Field beans are traditionally featured in Indian dal preparations and are gaining traction in plant-based food manufacturing, animal feed formulations, and nutritional supplement production globally.
Compliance & Quality Standards for France
France is a key gateway for Indian specialty foods into the European gourmet and organic food market. All imports must comply with EU Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 and the EU's Official Controls Regulation (EU) 2017/625, enforced locally by France's DGCCRF (Direction Générale de la Concurrence, de la Consommation et de la Répression des Fraudes). Many Indian products face heightened import controls under Annex II of Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, requiring phytosanitary certificates and documentary/identity checks at EU Border Inspection Posts (BIP). Le Havre is France's largest container port and a primary EU entry point for Indian goods. French food manufacturers and distributors frequently demand IFS Food certification, Ecocert or AB (Agriculture Biologique) organic certification, and full traceability documentation. IndianXporter coordinates French customs declarations (DAU), EUR.1 movement certificates, and notarized COO documentation. At IndianXporter, we ensure every batch of field beans exceeds the quality expectations of France importers and adheres to all local regulatory mandates.
