The Dry Bean Industry In South Africa The Dry Bean Producers’ Organisation (DPO) was established at a congress on 11 August 1993 in Potchefstroom at a time when the deregulation of agriculture took place on a large scale. Three bean species are grown in South Africa: the common bean Phaseolus vulgaris, which includes varieties such as small white and red speckled or sugar beans, the tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius) and the large white kidney bean (Phaseolus coccineus). Of all the annual leguminous food crops that are harvested for dry seeds, the ordinary bean is by far the most important. (018) 299 6100, Compiled by Directorate Agricultural Information °C.
