Earlier Report Observations

Production of dried shelled bambara beans in Niger began at 46 934 tons in 2018, supported by seed quality legislation enacted earlier to ensure certified seeds for crops. After a slight dip to 44 807 tons in 2019, output jumped to 55 570 tons in 2020 due to expanded cultivation areas under the government's Initiative 3N, which specifically promoted legume production including bambara beans.

The market volume then fell sharply to 41 190 tons in 2021. A strong rebound followed in 2022, reaching 61 753 tons, before declining again to 46 042 tons in 2023.

For 2024, key developments included the launch of a market information system to improve transparency for underutilized crops like bambara, an export ban on beans to secure domestic supply, and growing consumer interest in plant-based proteins driving the emergence of value-added products such as flour and snacks.
