ETHIOPIA is today the only country in Africa to grow beans specifically for an export market.
The bean trade in Africa represents massive opportunities for farmers to make a lucrative income if all partners along the value chain work together.
“Bean Corridors” are zones of bean intensification in terms of production, distribution and consumption.
TRANSFORMING BEAN TRADE IN AFRICA
• Trade is a catalyst for agriculture development in Africa
• Africa and Europe are producer and consumer markets
• Step up investments in infrastructure and human capital
Thank you!
