THE pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) is a perennial legume from the family Fabaceae native to the Old World.
The pigeon pea is widely cultivated in tropical and semitropical regions around the world, being commonly consumed in South Asia, South East Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
In an attempt to make the public become aware of pigeon peas, Small Enterprises Institutional Development (SEIDA) and Agricultural Markets Development Trust (AMDT) have begun a campaign to mobilize local consumption of pigeon peas to reach 74,000 tonnes per year from a below level of 10 percent in the country.
