  • How much do groundnuts grow in South Africa?
  • Yields vary from about 400 kilograms to several tonnes per hectare depending on production system and production area. In South Africa, groundnuts are grown in the summer rainfall regions under irrigated or rainfed conditions.
  • Which groundnuts are suitable for production in South Africa?
  • Suitable soil forms are Avalon, Bainsvlei, Clovelly, Hutton, Pinedene and Glencoe. Runner type groundnuts are unsuitable for production in South Africa because of the longer growth season and the higher moisture requirements of these types.
  • Is groundnut a cash crop?

  • Can groundnut oil be used in biodiesel production?
  • Groundnut haulms are in high demand for fodder, and the groundnut cake after the extraction of the oil is also mixed in animal feeds or organic fertilizers. More recently due to promotion of bioenergy production, use of groundnut oil in biodiesel production is also being evaluated.
  • What are the main production constraints for groundnuts?
  • The main production constraints for groundnut include abiotic stresses (drought, high temperatures, poor fertility, low pH, Ca deficiency, and chlorosis) and biotic stresses (diseases ¨C rust, leaf spot, and aflatoxin contamination; and insect pests ¨C pod borers, aphids, thrips and mites).
