The United States Dry Bean Council (USDBC) is a private trade association in the United States that represents growers and shippers of U.S. edible dry beans. The NDBC works closely with both the U.S. exporting and foreign importing trades to promote areas of mutual interest in the use, consumption and marketing of edible dry beans worldwide.

While the USDBC is privately funded, it works closely with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in overseas markets, and often co-sponsors activities with the U.S. Government. These activities include hosting trade missions from foreign countries to visit U.S. production and processing facilities, participating in trade shows worldwide, coordinating trade missions of U.S. exporters and growers to visit overseas markets and producing education
