About PABRA

PABRA is all about beans.

We believe that beans can improve the food security, income and health of smallholder farmers and urban dwellers across Africa, as well as contribute to improved soil fertility.

We also believe that by increasing the competitiveness of bean markets, we can provide consumers with better products and contribute to the economic growth of our member countries.

We work with more than 350 partners and members across 30 countries to do just that.

Together, we deliver better beans for Africa.
