Adoption and impact of improved bean technologies among the bean growing households in Southern Highlands of Tanzania
The data applies to ex-post analysis of improved bean variety adoption. The two provinces of Northern and Muchinga provinces in Zambia constitute the biggest area share planted to bean in the country. A total of 402 bean growing households were selected from 67 villages across seven districts for...

Assessing access and adoption of improved bean varieties among the bean growing households in Northern and Southern provinces of Zambia
By 2013, there was remarkable achievement in Malawi in terms of bean varietal output, but information on farm level use of these varieties, their contribution to bean productivity and household food security was lacking. An ex-post study was conducted to assess the extent of adoption of improved ...
This study contributed to a better understanding of current gender disparities that can help to ensure future inclusive market development and associated benefits. The analysis is based on empirical evidence from female and male small and medium enterprise (SME) owners along the common bean value...

Enhancing the benefits of value chain development: Addressing gender disparities in Kenyan and Ugandan common bean value chains
This study addresses the need to empirically determine the effect of brokers on the performance of SMEs in the common bean value chains of Uganda and Kenya. Contrary to the conventional portrayal of brokers as scam artists, this analysis determined that broker use benefited SMEs by increasing pro...

To assure proper evaluation of all materials to be distributed internationally, the CIAT Bean Program designed a sequential process of germplasm evaluation and distribution known as the VEF-EP-IBYAN scheme. VEF (for the Spanish acronym of Bean Team Nursery) was an observational nursery; EP (Spani...
Root and shoot traits related with drought resistance in common beans. A set of 36 bean genotypes belonging to the Middle American gene pool were evaluated under field and greenhouse conditions under drought stress conditions. Field data on grain yield and other shoot traits measured under drough...
