An informational site on cowpea as a potential export for Nepalese farmers
Vigna unguiculata, or more commonly known as cowpea or black-eyed pea is a legume crop,
that is believed to have been domesticated in West Africa. It is a crop that grows well on hilly
farmland which is very beneficial for Nepalese farms due to the large amount of hillside farms [5].
