groundnut

About the product
The peanut, also known as the groundnut classified as Arachis hypogaea, is a legume crop grown mainly for its edible seeds. It is widely grown in the tropics and subtropics, being important to both small and large commercial producers.

Groundnut is one of the most popular crops grown by a number of peasant farmers in Northern Ghana.

Ghana is a major producer of groundnuts in West Africa, with nearly all production originating in the North (94% of Ghana’s groundnut production).

The crop is produced under rain-fed conditions; the dry post-harvest season in the northern savannah zone is ideal for post-harvest practices.

Some varieties of ground nut in Ghana are Nketia SARI (100 days), Yenyawoso (90 days) and Sumnut 22 (100 days) and the old Chinese variety. . Hopeline in partnership with DML has trained various communities in the northern and and upper east regions of Ghana who are into Groundnut cultivation.
