Tropical Legumes III
Improving Livelihoods for Smallholder Farmers:
Enhanced Grain Legume Productivity and Production in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
Ethiopian Common Bean Seed Roadmap
By Temesgen W. and TLL- III Team members
3 – 4 March, 2016
Livingstone, Zambia
Introduction • Common beans are grown by over 3.3 million
HH on 2.6% grain crops production area (CSA,
2014)
• Current national productivity of Common bean is
1.5 t/ha which is lower than the potential yield
4.5 t ha-1
• During the implementation of the TL-II project
there were challenges and constraints observed
those need to take steps to rectify the situation,
such as:-
Introduction… • Seed Production Related Constraints
• Seed Marketing/Distribution Related
Constraints
• Institutional Linkage and Regulatory System
Related Constraints
• Follow-up Action and Reporting (M and E)
So TL- III will solve the difficulties encountered
by lesson learned

The TL- III project out comes
Regarding to the bean seed system, the project
will mobilize 5,276 seed producer farmers and
supply 14,940 tons of improved bean seed
varieties supply to grain producers over the
project periods
The major activities to be implemented in the
project period to enhance common bean
productivity and production are discussed
