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 Japan
Japan maintains some of the world's most stringent food safety and residue standards, enforced by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) under the Food Sanitation Act. All food imports are subject to inspection by Japan's quarantine stations and must comply with Japan's Positive List system for agricultural chemical residues, which sets MRLs far more stringent than Codex standards for many substances. IndianXporter coordinates pre-shipment residue testing at NABL-accredited or Japan-approved laboratories and provides detailed pesticide use records to support Japanese customs clearance. The Japan Agricultural Standards (JAS) label is required for organic products. Plant products require phytosanitary certification from India's NPPO and may be subject to pest risk assessment under Japan's Plant Protection Law. Japanese buyers typically request detailed COA per lot, microbiological test reports, and allergen declarations in Japanese, which IndianXporter can coordinate. At IndianXporter, we ensure every batch of field beans exceeds the quality expectations of Japan importers and adheres to all local regulatory mandates.
