Abstract

The research team will test different supply models of bean/seed varieties for their suitability for precooking. Teams will work with farmer groups and contract farming, for their ability to supply the necessary volume of seed, and to benefit women smallholder farmers. The research will involve farmers’ federations in both Kenya and Uganda, and Smart Logistics, a private, women-owned company in Kenya. It will analyze the gender implications of the new technology to ensure that men, women and youth are fully integrated in the development of the precooked bean value chain.
