Surveys showed that a large variety of bean production systems are currently used in Colombia: monocropping and intercropping with maize, Arracacia, potatoes, maize-Arracacia, maize-peanuts, maize- potatoes, Arracacia-peas and potato-peas. The best areas are characterized by monoculture and high inputs. Monocropping presents higher expected returns and greater risks than intercropping. The reduction of risks would result in increased monoculture, higher input levels and market-oriented cropping systems. In Huila, the choice of multiple cropping is mainly the result of the farmers' inability to assume risks. The different harvesting times in multiple cropping systems guarantee a steady gash flow, which favors small farmers. (CIAT)
