  • Where are groundnuts produced in South Africa?
  • Groundnuts are mainly produced in the north-western regions of South Africa, namely the western and north-western Free State, North West, Northern Cape and Limpopo provinces (DALRRD, 2024). Groundnuts are also produced in Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal but production is lower in these provinces.
  • Why does South Africa Import groundnuts?
  • Imports occur partly due to the seasonality of local groundnut production, but in recent years also due to a shortage of local groundnut supply as a result of the severe and persistent droughts in the main groundnut producing regions. Groundnut crushing and groundnut oil production are very small parts of the South African market.
  • Are groundnuts a good investment in South Africa?
  • Gerhard Uys reports. South African producers can earn a healthy premium from locally produced groundnuts as they are sought-after on the export market due to their shape and taste. On average, about 25% of South Africa¡¯s crop is exported. This is according to Gerhard Dreyer, owner of The New Nut Company near Setlagole in North West.
  • Will the fuel price increase affect groundnut production in South Africa?
  • The tremendous increase in the fuel price in South Africa could af-fect the producers¡¯ profit if the seeds are to be sold in remote areas. The average annual gross value of groundnuts for the past five years up to 2005/06 is approximately R332 million.
