| description | Snap beans may offer a very attractive alternative for small farmers in the tropics with good access to markets and willing to take some risks. Snap beans yield high return to land and provide employment opportunities. The small farmer producing snap beans for the market will be able to generate a cash flow that allows significant investment in agrochemicals and other inputs. However, the crop does entail risks due to market fluctuations, production variation, and a high capital investment. Data on net returns, labor input, and costs of snap bean production in Colombia, Philippines, and Taiwan are included in table form. (AS (extract) |

(AS (extract) El cultivo de habichuela puede constituir una alternativa atractiva para pequenos agricultores del tropico con buen acceso a mercados y dispuestos a correr riesgos. La habichuela produce un buen retorno a la tierra y proporciona muchas oportunidades de empleo. El pequeno agricultor que produce habichuela para el mercado puede generar un flujo de dinero que le permite hacer inversiones significativas en insumos agroquimicos y de otra naturaleza. Sin embargo, el cultivo conlleva ciertos riesgos como fluctuaciones del mercado, variabilidad de la produccion y gran inversion de capital. Se incluyen datos, en forma de cuadro, sobre retornos netos, mano de obra y costos de la produccion de habichuela en Colombia, Filipinas y Taiwan.
