- CWT is an abbreviation for hundredweight, a unit of measurement equivalent to 100 pounds in the US (the “short hundredweight”, or “cental”) and 112 pounds (a “long hundredweight”) in the UK. CWT is typically used to price agricultural or industrial goods (particularly raw materials) such as fruits and vegetables, grains, steel, and livestock.
Lima bean production in the United States is a niche but important segment of the country’s agriculture sector, with a few states contributing significantly to the overall output. Most dry lima beans are produced in California. Lima beans are a popular legume, used in a variety of dishes and valued for their nutritional content, such as protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals.
