The supply chain for rice and beans can't double its capacity because we suddenly have a meat shortage, we don't have vast amounts of raw material, logistical, and processing capacity just sitting around.
If you need to massively increase the amount of beans in the supply chain, you'll need someone to plant them first and so on.

Beans are more forgiving with respect to climate, but they also take 3-4 months to grow. And, as you say, you can't suddenly turn a meat packing and distribution operation into one for rice. They're different in almost every respect.
