    Abstract/Description
    Three hundred small farmers from 42 villages of 5 Malawian regions were interviewed in order to gather information on the most common bean cropping systems, socioeconomic structure, farmers'organizations and income-generating activities, and extension service. Common beans are the 2nd most important crop after maize, providing a cheap source of protein for the majority of people in the country. The av. no. of var. grown/farm is 2.17. Data are given on the reasons for preferring some var., the forms in which beans are sold and consumed, and the preference percentage of the 4 most commonly grown var. (Chimbamba, Kaulesi, Nanyati, and Kayera). (CIAT)
     
    Se entrevistaron 300 pequenos agricultores de 42 aldeas correspondientes a 5 regiones de Malawi para recoger informacion sobre los sistemas de cultivo de frijol mas comunes, la estructura socioeconomica, las organizaciones campesinas y actividades generadoras de ingresos, y los servicios de extension. El frijol es el segundo cultivo mas importante despues del maiz y constituye una fuente economica de proteinas para la mayoria de la poblacion del pais. El no. prom. de var. sembradas/finca es de 2.17. Se dan datos de las razones por las cuales los agricultores prefieren algunas var. de frijol, las formas de venta y consumo y los porcentajes de preferencia de las 4 var. mas cultivadas (Chimbamba, Kaulesi, Nanyati y Kayera).
