Aflatoxin contamination of peanuts continues to be a major problem in peanut trade and a health risk for consumers in many African countries. Farmers are increasingly being encouraged to grow and expand the acreage under peanut production. However, for smallholder farmers to benefit fully, solutions must be found to reduce aflatoxin contamination. The status of mitigating aflatoxin contamination, in African countries, along the groundnut value chain will be discussed. Holistic mitigation strategies that are deployed during production and postharvest, increased consumer awareness, and safe end use alternatives provide the best current options.
