For a smooth projective variety X over a number field k a conjecture of Bloch and Beilinson predicts that the kernel of the Albanese map of X is a torsion group. In this article we consider a product X=C1×⋯× Cd of smooth projective curves and show that if the conjecture is true for any subproduct of two curves, then it is true for X. Additionally, we produce many new examples of non-isogenous elliptic curves E1, E2 with positive rank over ℚ for which the image of the natural map E1(ℚ)⊗ E2(ℚ)\xrightarrowε CH0(E1× E2) is finite, including the first known examples of rank greater than 1. Combining the two results, we obtain infinitely many nontrivial products X=C1×⋯× Cd for which the analogous map ε has finite image.
