ICRISAT by USAID - United States Agency for
International Development within the framework of
the implementation of a regional project dubbed
“Increasing Groundnut Productivity of Smallholder
Farmers in Mali, Ghana and Nigeria”. The authors
are grateful to all Project Desk Officers and
Extension Agents of the Agricultural and Rural
Development Projects/Authorities (ADPs) of
Sokoto and Kebbi States and all the farmers who
accepted to participate in these surveys.","The most recent improved groundnut varieties with farmers in Nigeria are SAMNUT 23, SAMNUT 24,
SAMNUT 25 and SAMNUT 26. Amongst other things, this paper summarises outcomes of an adoption
survey of these varieties in Sokoto and Kebbi States of North-western Nigeria. A total of 110 respondents
were selected from administrative units where a donor funded project is being executed (coded herein as
PLGA) and 110 from administrative units where project actions are absent (coded herein as NPLGA). The
survey reveals that improved groundnut varieties are being grown amidst several other varieties designated
as local. While SAMNUT 24 is being grown by 39% of respondents in PLGA and 19% of those in NPLGA,
Kampala (a local groundnut variety) is being planted by 35 and 40% of respondents in PLGA and NPLGA,
respectively. Farming experience, level of education and household size were found to influence household
decisions to adopt groundnut varietal technologies and accompanying crop management practices at 1, 5
and 10% levels of significance. Gross Profit Margins in PLGA and NPLGA were 66,854 Naira (or $219) and
23,744 Naira (or $78), respectively, indicating that smallholder farmers could make nearly 64% additional
cash incomes by adopting improved groundnut technologies.","2019-05","published",,"Net Journal of Agricultural Science","7","2166",,,"56-68",,,,,,,,,,,"TRUE",,"2315-9766",,,,,,"",,"","",,"USAID","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
