About the United States Dry Bean Council

The United States Dry Bean Council, founded in the early 1940’s, is a private trade association that represents growers and shippers of U.S. edible dry beans.  The USDBC 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.

The USDBC is an umbrella organization which is comprised of many state and regional groups around the U.S. These groups, in turn, represent thousands of individual growers and shippers.

The United States Dry Bean Council has its headquarters in the Washington D.C. area.  In addition, the USDBC has overseas representatives in Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, Brazil and Mexico.  These USDBC in-country representatives facilitate activities and dialog between the U.S. and overseas trade.
