Description In Tanzania, 7% of the land under production is used for the cultivation of beans. The average yield of beans (dry) is 888 kilograms per hectare (CIAT & World Bank, 2017). Common beans, despite its relatively low profitability, is considered a key value chain crop because of its inclusiveness, nutritional value, food security contribution and cash-crop importance (60% of the produced volumes are commercialized in the local market), and nitrogen fixation.
