Native Beans Or Local Beans, what is your experience Farming It? by GreaterFuture(op):
Would like to understand or know more on this, an extensive discussion.
This Native or local beans, known by most Nigeriana from east to west.
There are 3 types; the brown one, used by Wakye people, the White one and the other one, their one.


Based on a few encounters and conversations I had recently, all saying the same or similar things about it.
Some of the recurrent things said about it are:
- They said it's much easier to cultivate
- Bears more, more seeds and Bags
- Little to no effort
- No need for spraying too much. This, a major part, expense, hazard & hygienic talk to the Beans consumption, Nutrition-safety and farming conversation
- And very surprisingly, it's higher in price. Much higher or sizeably higher than other major ones sold and eaten by the general populace.

If it's so why aren't so many things adding up, like more people into Farming it?

What is your personal experience? From the cultivation of it, to selling it?

An interesting, extensive conversation.

Why aren't more people farming it, why isn't it common in the market options?
Or is it harder to sell?
