Groundnuts production, area planted and yield,

Factors influencing the productivity of groundnuts among

  • Is groundnut a good crop in Zambia?
  • The crop is among Zambia's main food and cash crops, empowering many smallholder farmers to earn a livelihood ( Mukanga et al., 2019 ). The annual groundnut production in Zambia is 127,172 tonnes, cultivated over an area of 192,246 ha, with an average yield of 730 kg ha −1 ( FAO, 2020 ).
  • What are the biotic constraints to groundnut production in Zambia?
  • The annual groundnut production in Zambia is 127,172 tonnes, cultivated over an area of 192,246 ha, with an average yield of 730 kg ha −1 ( FAO, 2020 ). The primary biotic constraints to maize and groundnut production are susceptibility to aflatoxin contamination (Boni et al., 2021 ).
  • Did Zambia export groundnuts to Europe?
  • In the 1960s, Zambia exported over 8000 metric tons of groundnut to the European market, which later suddenly collapsed, mainly as a result of the enforcement of aflatoxin regulations in Europe ( Sitko et al., 2011 ), with the last export to the Netherlands of only 14,000 kg being in the year 2006 ( Njoroge, 2018 ).
  • How much groundnut is produced in India?
  • The groundnut area in India during 1988–89 was 8.3 million ha with a production of 9.6 million tons. The area gradually decreased to current 5.36 million ha (2017–18) while the productivity has gone up with the total production of 8.94 million tons (FAO 2017).
