The production of broad beans or legume beans, even though it is markedly seasonal, is a very widespread crop in the mountains of our country and it is mainly small growers who are dedicated to its cultivation. Having as a strength the knowledge in the management of the crop and incorporating as innovation only the origin of the seed, of varieties already developed by the INIA, a market opportunity is presented in the export of the fresh product or shelled legume. The exportation experiences of dried peeled broad beans are already known, but Little is known about the experiences with shelled legume beans. The present work evaluates the competitiveness of this product that would represent an opportunity to link hundreds, if not thousands, of small growers who already grow broad beans and market them in the national market without greater added value. The experience was developed with producers from the Apurimac region in the districts of San Pedro de Cachora and Curahuasi, where, as a small grower, the cost of producing beans was quite low. With this production cost it was linked to the capital where the primary processing of the product (shelling) was carried out. This is where the exporter broker is involved, who after a half-cooked and freezing process sells the product abroad. This last link was able to offer a permanent price throughout the year in exchange of a permanent supply.
