Analysis of Common Bean Production Constraints in Burundi’s Acid Soils

Farming is a main job occupying a large part of the Burundian population. Farming products are a main source of food system. While the soil is known for the acidity and suffering from many issues, this article targets to analyze the way by which common bean farmers achieve their production and if not, the problems they meet as obstacles to achieving their targets. We used a questionnaire administrated to a sample of 283 respondents in which we used KoboCollect tools in data collection. Data analysis was helped by IBM SPPS 25 tools and Microsoft Office Excel. Besides problems related to financial means to buy fertilizers, farming common beans is getting hard. Issues like climate variability, constraints linked to the lack of new improved seeds’ varieties, high seed prices and lack of investment capital in the domain of beans farming.
