Judgment axis | Facts and Operational Judgments |
| Item Identity | Mung beans are the seeds of Vigna radiata, and are a type of legume distinguished from red beans, soybeans, and peas. |
| Demand structure | Various end uses coexist, such as whole mung beans, peeled mung beans, mung bean flour, mung bean sprouts, and ingredients for porridge, pancakes, and bean paste. |
| Key transaction criteria | Country of origin and price alone are insufficient; it is necessary to verify germination rate, moisture content, breakage, foreign matter, particle size, cookability, and lot stability according to the final intended use. |
| Items that must be separated | Raw materials for food, materials for mung bean sprout cultivation, seeds, and processed products such as peeled hulls, powder, and paste are managed as separate Product Entities. |
| Safety and Marking | The standards for origin, import, pesticide residue, and food labeling are checked on a product and lot basis. |
| MarketHub Role | It creates a foundation for recurring B2B transactions by connecting production, sorting, storage, germination/processing, inspection, buyers, and repurchase information. |
The competitiveness of the mung bean industry depends not on the expression “domestic mung beans” itself, but on which use the mung beans are suitable for and whether the quality for that use can be consistently met . For mung bean sprouts, germination rate and hygiene are the priority criteria; for pancakes and bindaetteok, hulling, grindability, and doughability; and for porridge and bean paste, cookability, color, and yield are the priority criteria.

Classification principles
Single item name "Mung Bean" → Final use → Required specifications → Lot → Inspection/processing history → Terms of trade
Trading mung beans intended for bean sprouts under the same standards as raw materials for pancakes or porridge, or advertising food-grade mung beans as seeds, can lead to quality disputes and issues regarding labeling and contracts.

KOSIS legume production statistics provide mung beans as a separate category. However, when assessing transactions, one must not rely solely on the production volume of a specific year, but must also consider cultivated area, yield per unit area, weather conditions, inventory, imports, and processing demand.
