The mungbean is increasingly getting attention from
stakeholders because this commodity is a relatively cheap source of food of
vegetable protein as well as an export potential commodity. Besides a vegetable
protein which is relatively cheap, mungbean is also an important source of
vitamins and minerals beneficial for human health. Mungbean can be used as a
functional food as it provides several health benefits. The development of the
mungbean-based food (food and beverage) industry is now advanced. Most of the
farmers in the country are well acquainted with mungbean farming. Mungbean can
be grown on a wide agroecosystems with minimum inputs, and the grain/seed
market is relatively good and stable. It is not surprising that the prospect of
the mungbean crop in Indonesia is quite large. From the point of view of
material availability (seeds and mungbean grains), efforts to increase
productivity and production of mungbean need to be continued through the
application of suitable cultivation technology and the development of planting
areas. Strengthening collaboration among the government institutions and
industry players is very crucial. Through this synergy, in-depth research can
be conducted on varieties development that aligns with consumer preferences of
different regions and the intended utilisation of mungbean production.
Extension programs and farmer support, easy access to superior seeds, and
capital assistance become essential in optimising production. Mungbean offers a
much wider scope domestically as well as export commodity to earn foreign
reserves.
