Item Replication Data for: Consumer demand heterogeneity and valuation of value added pulse products: a case of precooked beans in Uganda(Dataset, 2018-12-05) Aseete, Paul; Mutua, Mercy M.; Katungi, Enid M.; Bonabana-Wabbi, Jackline; Birachi, Eliud Abucheli; Ugen, Michael AdroguThe data is from a survey conducted in Central Uganda in August 2015 by the National Crops Resources Research Institute in collaboration with CIAT-PABRA. This study investigated consumer demand heterogeneity and valuation of a processed bean product— “precooked beans” with substantially reduced cooking time. The study aimed at segmenting potential consumers of precooked beans and to determine their willingness to pay for the same when introduced on the market. Data file consists of variables on: i) consumer choices/preferences collected using a choice experiment, ii) social and demographics, iii) bean consumption dynamics, bean preparation methods, perceptions of food processing and market access.Item Food security impacts of improved bean varieties adoption in Malawi(Dataset, 2018-08-21) Katungi, Enid M.; Magreta, Ruth; Damuleni, KelvinBy 2013, there was remarkable achievement in Malawi in terms of bean varietal output, but information on farm level use of these varieties, their contribution to bean productivity and household food security was lacking. An ex-post study was conducted to assess the extent of adoption of improved bean varieties and their associated impacts on food security among the adopting bean growing households. The study also generated sex disaggregated data on labour contributions, access to extension services & credit, group networks and control over income from beans; that was used to examine gender biases in bean production and identify feasible interventions to enhanced gender equality. Also of interest was to understand the progress on seed systems measured by improved seed availability and affordability by those who need it as well as the degree of bean commercialization. The information was gathered through a survey of a sample of 611 households selected from 48 villages across twelve bean producing districts across the three regions (northern, central and southern) of Malawi. The sample design was motived by the need to identify representative samples of adopters and non-adopters so as to draw inferences on impact while controlling for confounding factors. A stratified multi stage sampling was followed in selecting the households for the survey (2014)Item Assessing access and adoption of improved bean varieties among the bean growing households in Northern and Southern provinces of Zambia(Dataset, 2018-08-21) Katungi, Enid M.; Hamzakaza, Petan; Reyes, Byron A.; Maredia, Mywish K.; Muimui, Kennedy K.The data applies to ex-post analysis of improved bean variety adoption. The two provinces of Northern and Muchinga provinces in Zambia constitute the biggest area share planted to bean in the country. A total of 402 bean growing households were selected from 67 villages across seven districts for the survey using a two-stage cluster sample selection method. All information refer to the 2012-2013 agricultural season (i.e. December 2012-April 2013). The study also contributed information on gender aspects of bean production, which was made possible by allowing data on decision-making regarding bean management, labour contribution, use of income from beans, access to extension services & credit, and group membership to be disaggregated by sex and age of household member. (2013)Item Adoption and impact of improved bean technologies among the bean growing households in Southern Highlands of Tanzania(Dataset, 2018-08-21) Katungi, Enid M.; Letaa, Emmanuel; Kabungo, Catherine; Ndunguru, AgnessThe data are part of the outputs of a survey conducted in Southern Tanzania Highlands between November 2016 and January 2017 by CIAT-PABRA team in collaboration with socio-economics team at Agricultural Research Institute – Uyole. The objective of collecting the data was to assess the adoption of improved bean varieties that have been developed over time by the International Centre for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) through Pan-African Bean Research Alliance (PABRA) and National Agricultural Research Systems (NARS) in Tanzania and evaluate in ex-post the impacts of their adoption on crop productivity, farm income, crop commercialization and food security. Information on ex-post impacts could provide important lessons for researchers and a basis for development agencies and policy makers when deciding on resource allocation. In line with this point, the study went beyond investigating impacts on the outcomes mentioned above and looked at others indicators of breeding performance and the interventions in seed systems that sought to address challenges of inaccessibility of improved seed by disadvantaged groups such as the poor, women and those in far remote locations.

The data sets presented here have been assembled from multiple sources to provide and indicative position of skill and knowledge building initiatives by PABRA and its various partners. The data sets show the number of people trained between the year 2003 t0 2016. Though the data sets provide the numbers, discussion on capacity building as a whole is available in the capacity building section of the PABRA website.Item Replication Data for: Using subsidised seed to catalyse demand-driven bean seed systems in Malawi(Dataset, 2016-12-11) Rubyogo, Jean-Claude; Magreta, Ruth; Kambewa, Dymon; Chirwa, Rowland; Mazuma, Elisa; Andrews, MartinThrough an innovative public-private partnership, Demeter Agricultural Limited, along with the Malawi National Bean Programme and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture, supplied 2,559 tons of certified bean seed between 2009 and 2012 through the government's Targeted Farm Input Programme. Farmers were satisfied with the variety supplied, timeliness of the operation, pack size, and information provided. Growing numbers also accessed new improved varieties, from 264,661 households in 2009 to 344,200 in 2012. These emerging farmers’ demands and the subsequent DAL responses suggest a base for building sustainable delivery systems. However, decentralised seed-based systems will be needed for promoting varieties suited to micro-ecological niches. À travers un partenariat public-privé innovant, Demeter Agricultural Limited (DAL), conjointement avec le Malawi National Bean Programme (Programme national du Malawi pour les haricots) et le Centre international d'agriculture tropicale, ont fourni 2,559 tonnes de semences de haricots certifiées entre 2009 et 2012, à travers le Targeted Farm Input Programme (Programme d'intrants agricoles ciblés) du gouvernement. Les agriculteurs ont été satisfaits de la variété fournie, du caractère opportun de l'opération, de la taille des paquets et des informations fournies. Un nombre croissant d'entre eux ont aussi accédé à de nouvelles variétés améliorées, de 264 661 ménages en 2009 à 344 200 en 2012. Ces exigences émergentes émanant des agriculteurs et les réponses ultérieures de DAL suggèrent une base pour l’édification de systèmes de livraison durables. Cependant, des systèmes décentralisés basés sur les semences seront requis pour promouvoir des variétés adaptées à des créneaux microécologiques. A partir de una innovadora alianza público-privada, entre 2009 y 2012 Demeter Agricultural Limited (dal), en coordinación con el Programa Nacional del Frijol de Malaui y el Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical, suministró 2,559 toneladas de semilla de frijol certificada a través del programa oficial selectivo “Farm Input” [Insumos Agrícolas]. Los campesinos participantes expresaron su satisfacción con la variedad suministrada, lo oportuno de la operación, el tamaño del paquete y la información proporcionada. De esta manera, un creciente número de agricultores tuvo acceso a variedades mejoradas: en 2009 participaron del programa 264,661 hogares, mientras que en 2012 lo hicieron 344,200 hogares. Estas demandas campesinas emergentes y las subsecuentes respuestas de dal apuntan a que existen fundamentos para construir sistemas de reparto sustentables. Sin embargo, será necesario establecer sistemas de distribución de semillas descentralizados, a fin de promover aquellas variedades que más se adaptan a ciertos nichos microecológicos.Item Common Bean variety releases in Africa(Dataset, 2017-05-05) Andriatsitohaina, Muthoni R; Nagadya, R; Okii, D; Obilil, Innocent; Mukankusi, Clare Mugisha; Chirwa, Rowland; Zulu, Rodah M.; Lung'aho, Mercy G.; Ruraduma, Capitoline; Ugen, Michael Adrogu; Kidane, T.; Karanja, D.; Mazuma, E; Musoni, Augustine; Sefume, L; Meshac, Tsibingu I; Amane, Manuel; Fourie, D.; Dlamini, A; Andriamazaoro, Hery; Kilango, Michael; Kweka, O S; Mutari, B; Mumui, K; Asibuo, James Y.; Ngueguim, MThe Pan Africa Bean Research Alliance is a network of national agricultural research centers (NARS), and private and public sector institutions that work to deliver better beans with consumer and market preferred traits to farmers. The datasets presented here draw from 17 Sub Saharan countries that are members of PABRA. The dataset on released bean varieties is a collection of 357 bean varieties released by NARS and there characteristics. The dataset on bean varieties and the relationship to constraints provides the 357 bean varieties on the basis of resistance to constraints such as fungal, bacterial, viral, diseases and tolerance to abiotic stresses. There is also a dataset of bean varieties that have been released in more than one country, useful for moving seed from one country to another and facilitating regional trade. The dataset on Niche market traits provides the market defined classifications for bean trade in Sub Saharan Africa as well as varieties that fall into these classifications. The datasets are an update to the 2011 discussion on PABRAs achievement in breeding and delivery of bean varieties in Buruchara et. 2011 in pages 236 and 237 here: http://www.ajol.info/index.php/acsj/article/view/74168 . It is also an update to a follow up to this discussion in Muthoni, R. A., Andrade, R. 2015 on the performance of bean improvement programmes in sub-Saharan Africa from the perspectives of varietal output and adoption in chapter 8. here: http://dx.doi.org/10.1079/9781780644011.0148. The data is extracted from the PABRA M&E database available here ( http://database.pabra-africa.org/?location=breeding).Item Crop improvement, adoption and impact of improved bean varieties in Sub Saharan Africa(Dataset, 2015) Muthoni Andriatsitohaina, Rachel; Andrade, Robert SantiagoThe crop improvement research effort of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) centers and their national agricultural research systems (NARS) partners has had a large impact on world food production. Although bean impact has been documented in a number of past studies, the last comprehensive study of the international crop improvement effort, organized by the Standing Panel for Impact Assessment (SPIA, formerly the Impact Assessment and Evaluation Group), was based on data collected a decade ago (Evenson and Gollin, 2003 based on 1997-98 data). Important changes have occurred in the funding and conduct of the international crop improvement effort and in the general climate for agriculture in the developing world since the completion of the Evenson and Gollin study.The level and focus of funding for research in the NARS and in the CGIAR centers have fluctuated greatly, and the role of the private sector has evolved. Yet, the importance of the CGIAR/NARS crop improvement effort in feeding the world is arguably as important today as it has been at any time in history. The steady uptake and turnover of crop varieties is fundamental to realizing a Green Revolution in Africa, and it is still important for helping achieve income growth for numerous poor rural households. But our present understanding of improved variety adoption by crop, by location, by adopter and by source is limited in Africa. The data seeks to redress this anomaly, by providing a versatile database on bean variety adoption by crop, by location, by adopter and by source in sub-saharan countries. The following countries are covered: Burundi, DRCongo, Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.
