HS code 0713.34 is the 6-digit subheading for vegetables, leguminous, bambara beans (Vigna subterranea or Voandzeia subterranea), shelled, whether or not skinned or split, dried. It is used for dried bambara groundnuts, shelled bambara beans, bambara bean flour (if not further prepared) and roasted bambara beans (if dried).
What HS 0713.34 covers
This HS code specifically covers dried bambara beans (Vigna subterranea or Voandzeia subterranea), shelled, whether or not skinned or split. Bambara beans, also known as bambara groundnuts, are an indigenous African legume, highly valued for their resilience in arid conditions and their significant nutritional contribution, particularly protein, in regions where food security is a concern. They are a traditional staple food, consumed boiled, roasted, or ground into flour for various dishes. International trade for bambara beans is relatively limited compared to other legumes, primarily occurring within African countries. However, there is growing interest in their potential as a sustainable and nutritious crop for wider markets. Exporters are typically African nations where they are cultivated, with imports mainly by neighboring countries or specialty ethnic food markets.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
