Groundnut Production

The book was divided into two sections: one estimating the factors affecting the profitability level of groundnut production under irrigation and secondly on revealing the determinants of mobile applications utilisation in agricultural marketing. With regards to the factors affecting the profitability level, return on investment was used as the dependent variable and the linear regression results indicated that, access to groundnut market price information, farmers experience and cost of labour incurred significantly affect the profitability level. Therefore, regular capacity building seminars to boost farmers skills on groundnut production and marketing as well as increasing market price information access could significantly boost profitability level of smallholder groundnuts farming under irrigation.
