Zambian dry beans

Zambian dry beans

We source our beans from handpicked farms in Mbala, Solwezi, Nakonde, Isoka and Chinsali in Northern Zambia

We have a network of professional logistics partners who pick our products directly from these farms and deliver them to  Lusaka for custom packaging per customer requirement and delivery to any destination within Africa through Victoria falls, Kazungula, Chipata, Nakonde, Kasumbalesa, Sakania, Chirundu, Sesheke and Mpulungu.

Our farmers nurture their bean crop organically without the blast of pesticides and the main crop is rain-fed with irrigation done in the off-season to ensure fresh produce is made available throughout the year. Harvesting, grading and packaging is fully mechanized.

This way human handling of our consignment is minimized reserving all the purity and aroma for our clients.

Dry beans contain essential vitamins and minerals. Most types of beans are good sources of potassium, a mineral that promotes healthy blood pressure levels. Beans are excellent sources of copper, phosphorus, manganese and magnesium—nutrients that many westerners, especially Americans don't get enough of.

Beans grown in Northern  Zambia tend to have the best vitamin and mineral  content because it comes from the same Tanzania-Zambia agricultural belt that produces the largest tonnage of the crop making Tanzania highest produce in the continent and seventh in the world. The odour and flavour of beans is dependent on its vitamin and mineral content.
