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 subsistence crop in parts of Africa, providing a nutritious and affordable source of protein, carbohydrates, and other essential nutrients. As a versatile ingredient, bambara beans are used in a variety of traditional dishes and have the potential for increased global trade and consumption.

Production process

Bambara beans are typically grown by small-scale farmers using traditional cultivation methods. The beans are planted in the ground and allowed to mature over several months. Once harvested, the beans are dried, either in the sun or using artificial drying methods. The dried beans are then shelled, either manually or using specialized machinery, to remove the outer skin. The shelled beans may be left whole or split, depending on the intended use.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of dried bambara beans are the seeds or beans themselves, as well as land, water, and labor for cultivation and harvesting. Farmers may also use basic agricultural tools and equipment, such as hoes, shovels, and drying racks. Some producers may invest in more advanced machinery for shelling and processing the beans.
