Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2022, Benin's production of dried shelled bambara beans rose from 2 369 t to 5 027 t, with market volume increasing similarly from 2 369 t to 5 032 t. This growth was supported by the expansion of climate-resilient agriculture that encouraged bambara bean cultivation amid growing aridity, as well as global dietary shifts toward plant-based proteins which elevated demand for this nutritious legume.

After peaking in 2022, the market volume contracted to 3 321 t in 2023.
