About vegetables, leguminous; bambara beans (vigna subterranea or voandzeia subterranea), shelled, whether or not skinned or split, dried

HS code 071334 covers dried bambara beans, a type of leguminous vegetable. Bambara beans are an important food crop in many parts of Africa, providing a valuable source of protein, carbohydrates, and other essential nutrients. As a globally traded commodity, bambara beans play a significant role in the international agricultural trade and food security efforts.

Production process

Bambara beans are typically grown by small-scale farmers using traditional cultivation methods. The beans are planted, allowed to mature, and then harvested by hand. After harvesting, the beans are dried, either in the sun or using mechanical driers, to reduce their moisture content. The dried beans may then be hulled, split, or left whole, depending on the intended use and market preferences.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the bambara bean industry include agricultural land, seeds, water for irrigation, and labor for planting, harvesting, and post-harvest processing. Farmers may also utilize basic farm equipment, such as hoes and shovels, as well as drying facilities to prepare the beans for market. 842940 Drying machinery and 842951 Machinery for cleaning, sorting or grading seed, grain or dried leguminous vegetables may be important supporting inputs.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 071334 is dried, shelled bambara beans, which can be consumed directly as a food item or used as an ingredient in various dishes and food products.
