The report shows that the total hectages of groundnut in twenty-three states of the Federation amounted to 780.319 ha with average farm size in the country amounting to 10.28 ha.  The constraints of farmers include biotic and abiotic stresses, low production prices.  The report reveals a shortfall of over 90% of groundnut requirements by companies involved in processing.  This indicates that there is a ready market for groundnut producers in the country.  The report also identifies 68 local groundnut machinery fabricators and 40 foreign machinery/equipment manufacturers.  The local machines are however less sophisticated and mainly used for oil extraction, expelling, decortication and shelling of groundnut.  The report also reveals that investment opportunities exist for groundnut processors in areas of cooking oil, cake, peanut, butter, roasted salted and coated nut and in production of a number of chocolate-based products.
