Abstract
According to Kilimo trust, 2012, the leading producers of beans in Africa are, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya whose production volumes in 2010 were estimated at 950,000MT, 455,000MT and 390,598MT respectively. The volumes traded across borders in the East African region stand at 309,000MT annually according to the East African cross border trade bulletin of 2018. This poses potential pest risks to the bean value chain and requires analysis to provide scientific justification for Phytosanitary conditions in beans. This Pest Risk Analysis (PRA) documents outlines risks associated with the movement of grain and seeds of beans, Phaseolus vulgalis L. within East African member countries namely: Kenya, Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.
