CALIFORNIA
Information on the several classes of beans produced in California can be obtained from the California Bean Shippers Association and the California Dry Bean Advisory Board. The California Dry Bean Advisory Board was organized in 1970, in part, to initiate various promotional programs for California bean products. The California Bean Shippers Association was organized to facilitate communication between the trade and domestic and international buyers of California-grown beans.
