abstract: Ms. Hadja Talatu Idrissa (Fig. 6.1), a community women leader, is the chairperson
of the Bunkure women group that is active in groundnut production and oil processing.
The group which counts 25 members joined the TL projects’ family 4 years
ago. They started growing a small seed pack of 5 kg in their community farmland.
“It was the harvest of this seed pack that we revolved and planted in a bigger farm
plot in the following year,” reported. Hadja.
On 1 ha plot, the Bunkure women harvested a total 25 bags of the improved
variety SAMNUT 24 against 13 bags they got from 1 ha plot with the old variety.
In addition, the group made more money out of the haulms of the improved variety
SAMNUT 24. “We sold the haulms of the improved variety up to 30 000 Naira
against 12 000 Naira of the local variety,” says Idrissa (1USD equals 360 Nigerian
Naira during that period). “The improved variety, SAMNUT 24, has higher haulms
yield and is much appreciated for animal feeding because of its taste and digestibility
which is better,” she adds.
