Inputs like quality seeds, irrigation, chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides was available in very low quantity or not at all. Due to these reasons, production cost involved was high. Diseases and pests was the major problem in the production of the bean. Marketing channel of the bean was not very long, therefore producer’s share was high. In marketing side of the produced bean, lack of marketing information and marketing help was the major problem. Bean collectors, wholesalers and cooperatives brought bean from the farmer’s field. So, no other significant problems were reported in marketing of the bean.
