abstract: Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a major food and cash crop in Burkina Faso. Due to
the growing demand for raw oilseeds, there is an increasing interest in groundnut production from
traditional rain-fed areas to irrigated environments. However, despite implementation of many
initiatives in the past to increase groundnut productivity and production, the groundnut industry still
struggles to prosper due to the fact of several constraints including minimal development research
and fluctuating markets. Yield penalty due to the presence of drought and biotic stresses continue
to be a major drawback for groundnut production. This review traces progress in the groundnut
breeding that started in Burkina Faso before the country’s political independence in 1960 through to
present times. Up to the 1980s, groundnut improvement was led by international research institutions
such as IRHO (Institute of Oils and Oleaginous Research) and ICRISAT (International Crops Research
Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics). However, international breeding initiatives were not su�cient to
establish a robust domestic groundnut breeding programme. This review also provides essential
information about opportunities and challenges for groundnut research in Burkina Faso, emphasising
the need for institutional attention to genetic improvement of the crop.
