Boiled Borlotti Beans Price Trend and Forecast 2026-2027

Germany paid the most for boiled borlotti beans in Q3 2026: USD 1,880/MT, up 0.6% from USD 1,869/MT in Q2. Import costs, packaging expenses and retail margins keep German prices above the other three markets. Worldwide, the average rose 1.1% to USD 1,538/MT from USD 1,522/MT, mostly because a smaller crop of dried beans in Argentina and higher packaging and energy costs were passed on by canners and importers. What about Q4 2026? We expect a global average somewhere in the USD 1,500-1,625/MT range, with dried bean crop size, packaging and energy costs and demand from retail and food service doing most of the work.

Boiled borlotti beans are borlotti, also called cranberry beans, that have been soaked and cooked, then packed in cans, jars or pouches in brine or water. They have a creamy texture and a nutty flavor and are used in soups, salads and Italian dishes such as pasta e fagioli. Prices reflect the cost of dried beans, processing and packaging, energy and demand from retail and food service.

Italy, Turkey, Argentina and Ethiopia are among the main sources of dried borlotti beans, and cooking and packing take place close to consumer markets, with Italy and Turkey as large processors. Demand is concentrated in southern Europe and in ethnic and health-food segments in northern Europe and North America. Prices follow dried bean crops, which depend on weather in the growing regions.

Boiled Borlotti Beans Price Forecast for 2026

Prices should edge higher through the rest of 2026. Dried bean costs are firm after a smaller crop in Argentina, packaging and energy costs remain high, and demand from retail and food service is steady. Competition between processors limits the size of the rise. The Q3 2026 global average of USD 1,538/MT is 3.4% above the USD 1,487/MT of Q3 2025.

The risks for Q4 are balanced, with no clear tilt either way. What could push prices higher? A smaller crop of dried beans, higher packaging or energy costs or stronger demand from food service would lift prices. What could pull them lower? A larger crop, lower packaging and energy costs or weaker demand would lower prices.
