Description

The main objectives of the proposed Operational Group are to carry out joint projects that will contribute to achieving the objectives of the AEI.

The projects to be developed present innovative aspects for both the production chain and the commercial chain.

Objectives

Develop a Product Innovation Project based on the introduction of new cultivars of colored beans. The aim is to offer a new product proposal on the retail shelves.

The product concept would be based on creating a package with three types of beans of three different colours, with similar or different shapes in order to introduce new types of bean varieties in a vegetable segment that has not introduced innovations in recent years.

This species would be incorporated into the trend that is occurring in other vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers.

Detect new varieties of beans that have greater nutritional efficiency and greater tolerance to growing conditions in soil and water with high levels of salinity. In addition to its importance for human consumption, it is of agricultural interest since it has a fertilizing action, due to the symbiosis with bacteria of the genus Rhizobium.
