Characterization of protein and fat composition of seeds from common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) and bambara groundnuts (Vigna subterranea L. Verdc) from Mozambique (2017, background): “Pulses are crops harvested for their dry seeds, which play an important role in the farming systems and are an essential part of the human diet around the world [1].”
A Phaseolus vulgaris Diversity Panel for Andean Bean Improvement (2015, background): “In the United States, there has also been less effort in Andean bean breeding and there have only been modest breeding gains for yield, which has resulted in a reduction of acreage in Andean classes (Kelly and Cichy, 2012).”
Economic importance of chickpea: Production, value, and world trade (2019, methodology): “Despite the many limitations and weakness of the FAO data (Akibode & Maredia, 2012) on grain legumes, this report used the FAOSTAT as the primary source of time-series secondary data.”
Tropical Grain Legumes in Africa and South Asia: Knowledge and Opportunities (2012, background): “According to FAOSTAT, the producer price for chickpeas in Malawi showed sharp increases in the mid 1990s but sharply fell in the late 1990s; similar (though less dramatic) situations have been observed in Ethiopia, Sudan, and elsewhere (Shiferaw et al. 2008c; Akibonde and Maredia 2011).”
