Broad beans are legumes like chickpeas and lentils, but they are items for which there may be separate demand for green seeds and frozen vegetables . Therefore, unlike No. 021 and No. 022, which focus on dried seeds, additional management is performed on the harvesting stage, freezing process, and cold chain distribution fields.
