Bean production in Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Report of a bean information survey in Africa

An expedition was organized in 1984 to obtain information on bean production in Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. This information represents valuable research literature not available through conventional sources. Personal interviews were conducted with scientists to explore different aspects of bean cultivation such as entomology, soils, statistical data, breeding, nutrition, cropping systems, pests and diseases attacking beans, production data, marketing, and bean nutrition.
