The trials conducted by CIATs Bean Economics Program in southern Huila (Colombia) have indicated that in this region monoculture bean yields can be increased 1-1.5 t/ha through improved agronomic practices. This paper is an ex ante analysis of the effect of this new technology on farmers` income,...
In Brazil, the world`s largest bean producer, the annual production value is over US$ billion. Beans contribute more to total national protein consumption than any other product, especially among the poor, who get over 30 percent dietary protein from beans.
