N2  - Se revisa la investigacion socioeconomica en produccion de frijol en Uganda. Este pais fue el tercer mayor productor de frijol en Africa a finales de los 80, con una produccion de 272,000 t. La competitividad del frijol con el maiz y otras leguminosas aumento, pero disminuyo con respecto a la yuca, la batata y el banano. Los cv. mas conocidos son Kanyebwa, Nambale, Mutike y Ebyeru. El mercado del frijol fresco y seco es competitivo y eficiente. El tamano y el color del grano de frijol no son caracteristicas importantes que expliquen las preferencias de los consumidores. La falta de una industria de semillas sera el primer limitante para que los agricultores obtengan semilla de cv. recien liberados. (RA- CIAT); Socio-economic research on bean production in Uganda is reviewed. Uganda was the third largest bean producer in Africa in the late 1980s with production at 272,000 tons. Beans were increasingly competitive with maize and all pulses, but were decreasingly competitive with cassava, sweet potatoes, and bananas. The most popular cultivars are Kanyebwa, Nambale, Mutike, and Ebyeru. The market for both fresh and dry beans is competitive and efficient. Grain size and color are not important characteristics in explaining consumers' preferences for beans. The lack of a seed industry will be a major constraint in getting seed of newly released cultivars to farmers. (AS)
