A report on the socio-economics of bean production and marketing in Uganda: information for research planning
1991
Grisley, W. | Mwesigwa, D.
Socio-economic research on bean production in Uganda is reviewed. Uganda was the third largest bean producer in Africa in the late 1980s with production of 272,000 tons. Beans became increasingly competitive with maize and all pulses, but became decreasingly competitive with cassava, sweet potatoes, and bananas. The most popular cultivars are Kanyebwa, Nambale, Mutike, and Ebyeru. The market for both fresh and dry beans is competitive and efficient. Grain size and color are not important characteristics in explaining consumers' preferences for beans. The lack of a seed industry will be a major constraint for farmers to get seed of newly released cultivars (AS)
