In several countries in sub-Saharan Africa, subsistence agriculture is an imperative aspect of sustainable food security. Environmental changes and fluctuating rainfall patterns play a key role in the growth of the agricultural sector in the African region. However, in recent years, a significant increase in the number of droughts and high uncertainty related to weather conditions have had negative effects on the overall productivity of the agricultural sector. For this reason, farmer organizations and policymakers are now focusing on seizing the potential opportunities of underutilized crops such as Bambara beans for nutrition and food security, income generation in rural areas, and resolution of economic and agronomic challenges. Furthermore, research and development activities mainly indicate the promotion and cultivation of indigenous and drought-tolerant legumes, including Bambara beans, a factor that is expected to increase the market during the evaluation period. Farmers in several African countries are now increasingly concentrating on the applications, storage, and marketing of Bambara beans to gain a competitive edge in the current market scenario.
