Maize and groundnut crop production among rural households in Zambia

  • Why are groundnuts important in Zambia?
  • Groundnuts are an important legume crop in Zambia. They are grown as both food and cash crop. Groundnuts are important for household food and nutrition security because of their nutritive value (a kernel contain 23 – 25 % protein and 45 – 52 % edible oil).
  • 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 ).
  • Do Zambians grow groundnuts?
  • Types of groundnut varieties grown by households in Zambia, June–July 2021. Among the five pre-harvest maize and groundnut management practices – namely, controlling weeds, timely planting, controlling pests, and application of basal and top-dressing fertilisers – few households (8%) reported practising all of them.
