According to data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the domestic cultivation area for red beans decreased from 5,893 hectares in 2019 to 3,690 hectares in 2023. In KOSIS, red beans are managed as an independent item within legume production statistics and are classified as a crop subject to administrative surveys by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. ( Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs )

The Rural Development Administration emphasizes that since adzuki beans are susceptible to waterlogging, high-ridge cultivation and drainage management are crucial. It suggests mid-to-late June for the central and northern regions, and late June to early July for the southern regions, as the general optimal sowing times. These values ​​are based on the 2023 RDA general cultivation guidelines and are applied separately for individual varieties, regions, and cropping systems. ( Rural Development Administration )

In particular, for red beans, the buyer's processing yield is as important as the price of the raw grain. 'Hongchan,' developed by the Rural Development Administration, showed higher results in official trials—with a yield of 211 kg per 10a and a sediment yield of 174%—than 'Arari' (199 kg/10a and 162%). However, these are test values ​​for a specific variety and are not applied to the overall average for domestic red beans. ( Rural Development Administration )

Plant Identity

The Agricultural Genetic Resources Center manages the adzuki bean under the Fabaceae family, Vigna angularis var. angularis, and the English crop name adzuki-bean, while separately registering various resources such as black adzuki beans and black pearls. ( Seed Bank )

Product Master

The case of evaluating color and fine bean paste yield separately after whole red bean production in the development of 'Hongchan' by the Rural Development Administration serves as grounds for separating Product Specs for whole red beans and bean paste . ( Rural Development Administration )

The Rural Development Administration specifically proposed cropping systems by variety for 2022. It explained that early-maturing varieties such as Hong-eon, Hong-da, and Arari are suitable after winter crops; Seona, Hong-jin, and Hong-miin after spring crops; and Haeorom, Hong-gyeong, and Hinnarae for monoculture. This implies that variety selection should be linked to maturity, yield, and the cropping system , rather than simply based on seed color . ( Rural Development Administration )

The Rural Development Administration describes adzuki beans as a crop susceptible to waterlogging and presented general standards in its 2023 cultivation guide, including a furrow width of 60–70 cm , plant spacing of 15–20 cm , 2–3 seeds per hole , and a sowing depth of 3–5 cm . The optimal sowing period was advised to be mid-to-late June for the central and northern regions, and late June to early July for the southern regions. These values ​​should be reconfirmed when applying official farming techniques specific to each variety and region. ( Rural Development Administration )

Adzuki beans are sensitive to soil moisture conditions, and water shortage immediately after sowing can affect yield; therefore, the runtime must be managed as follows: precipitation → soil moisture → germination → growth → pod setting → yield. ( Rural Development Administration )

The Rural Development Administration identifies viral diseases, powdery mildew, anthracnose, cutworms, beet armyworms, and aphids as major pests and diseases. For actual pesticide use, registered pesticides and safety usage standards in the Positive List System (PLS) and the Pesticide Safety Information System are verified by Lot. ( Rural Development Administration )

In the Rural Development Administration's 'Hongchan' trial, a 100-seed weight of 21.3g , a bright red color after whole red bean processing, and a fine bean paste yield of 174% were confirmed. The bean paste yield of the control variety 'Arari' was 162%. These values ​​are used solely as evidence for the Hongchan variety trial and are not used as quality standards for red beans as a whole.

Korean production

The red bean cultivation area disclosed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs is as follows.

Official data shows that the domestic red bean cultivation area continuously decreased from 2019 to 2023. ( Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs )

2024·2025 National Red Bean Production and Latest Confirmed Cultivation Area:
Entered after verification of final raw data from the KOSIS Survey of Legume Production and Agricultural Area

KOSIS independently compiles statistics on adzuki beans in legume production data based on area (ha), yield per 10a (kg), and yield (ton), and adzuki beans are classified as an administrative survey crop by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. ( KOSIS )

The Rural Development Administration announced that 'Arari' was bred to be an upright type with excellent lodging resistance and processing suitability, and that 'Hongchan' is a variety that simultaneously improves mechanical harvestability and processability for both whole beans and bean paste. Therefore, it is appropriate to link the Red Bean Buyer RFQ to variety, harvest mechanization, whole beans, and bean paste yields, rather than simply the price of the raw grain. ( Seed Bank )

HS·Trade

According to official agreement data from the Korea Customs Service, red beans are identified as HS 071332 ; however, there have been instances in past Korean detailed classifications where they were categorized as 0713321000 (for seeds) or 0713329000 (other). For actual transactions in 2026, the current HSK tariff code will be re-verified. ( Korea Customs Service )

2025 Red Bean Import Volume, Import Value, Major Countries of Origin, and Customs Clearance Unit Price:
Input after verification of current HS raw data from the Korea Customs Service's Import & Export Trade Statistics

The import and export of raw red beans, red bean paste, and finished whole red bean products are not combined to represent the red bean market size.

The Rural Development Administration's 'Hongchan' variety was evaluated as maintaining a bright red color after processing into whole red beans and yielding a high fine bean paste. As such, red beans must be evaluated based on both raw grain yield and processing yield simultaneously. ( Rural Development Administration )

Utilization of by-products

Review Area:

Food materials · Fermentation · Feed · Compost · Seed coat materials · Reduction of process by-products

Materials for food, functional, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic use are registered as Products only when official safety, recognition as raw materials, and research evidence have been confirmed.

The Rural Development Administration explained in official 2023 data that it conducted research on 'red bean sprouts,' which include leaves, stems, and roots cultivated for approximately 11 days after germinating red bean seeds, and that the National Institute of Food Science and Technology registered them as a food ingredient with edible parts in 2020. Therefore, red bean sprouts are managed as an independent product distinct from mature red beans in terms of edible parts and harvesting stage . ( Rural Development Administration )

PRP — Product Research Profile

Official data showing that the domestic red bean cultivation area decreased from 5,893 ha in 2019 to 3,690 ha in 2023 serves as the basis for including the reduction of the production base as a core item in the Red Bean Problem Bank. ( Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs )

In addition, the Rural Development Administration identifies waterlogging, drought, and pests and diseases as major production risks for red beans, and advises that raised ridges, water management, and early pest and disease control are key to stable production. ( Rural Development Administration )
