Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) are known as a women’s crop because of their role in household food and nutrition security, a different aspect from when compared with climbing beans. In trying to understand this difference, this study examined the roles women and men perform in the marketing of climbing beans. Data were obtained from 155 smallholder climbing bean farmers (86 females and sixty-nine males) in Kabale District in South Western Uganda using a cross-sectional survey, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze quantitative data. The findings revealed that harvesting, winnowing, sorting, and drying roles were performed by women. At the same time, men dominated storage, transportation, price bargaining, receiving money from the sale of beans, and saving family incomes. Men sold 71% and women 54% of the beans produced. Eighty-six percent of men engaged in mobile bean trade compared to 14% females. Fifty-three percent of men owned retail climbing bean stores compared to 47% women. More women (67%) are employed as casual laborers and paid UGX 5,000–7,000 per day compared to 33% men employed as casual laborers at UGX 7,000 to 10,000 per day in climbing bean production. The investigators recommend that women and men, smallholder farmers, be sensitized on gender stereotypes in production and marketing, and organize farmers into saving and credit cooperative groups to enable women to access better markets and invest in labor-saving technologies that free up women’s time from reproductive roles to create time to participate in business.
