Summary: The common beans most produced in Brazil are Carioca and Black bean types; however other less consumed types with diverse colors and sizes such as Alubia, Cranberry, Dark Red Kidney, Light Red Kidney, Pinto and Navy are also produced with a great potential for export. At the moment the number of cultivar of those types is still insignificant, and breeding programs are very new if compared with Carioca and Black beans programs. The breeding program of the Embrapa Rice and Beans Research Center started to supply that demand, by identifying genotypes with suitable characteristics for the international market.
