USA - Proposing revision  of Standards for Beans

The United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) is proposing a revision to the United States Standards for Beans to (1) establish a class and grade requirement chart for "chickpeas", also known as "garbanzo beans", and (2) establish a new grade determining factor, definition, factor limits, and visual reference image for "contrasting chickpeas". These revisions are being proposed at the request of the pea and lentil industry, and are supported by the bean industry. GIPSA believes that this proposed revision of the United States Standards for Beans would facilitate the marketing of chickpeas and improve the application of the standards.
