but the production declined because of many factors including the rosette disease and
the fact that there was no dedicated breeder of groundnut for over 10 years. According
to Dr. Roger Kanton, Deputy Director of CSIR-SARI (Council for Scientific and
Industrial Research - Savanna Agricultural Research Institute), it was then, in 2015,
with the support of the Tropical Legumes Projects that the groundnut breeding program
was reinitiated. “Only a few local germplasms were available,” adds Dr. Richard
Oteng-Frimpong, a young groundnut breeder, who came along with the support of
the Tropical Legumes projects to start again the breeding program in 2015.
Groundnut production and processing in Nyankpala, Northern Ghana, is now
seen as a business. Umar Jibril, a fabricator of groundnut shellers, narrates, “In
2006, we could barely fabricate one or two groundnut shellers in the year. Now we
fabricate up to 4 groundnut shellers per month; the demand is very high to a point
that clients must place an order well in advance. Our clients used to be the villagers
but nowadays our clientele is made of small and medium enterprises.”","2020","published",,,,,"Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd","Singapore","91-104","14",,,,,"doi:10.1007/978-981-15-0845-5_8",,,,,"TRUE","978-981-15-0844-8",,"Sowing Legume Seeds, Reaping Cash",,,,,"","https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-0845-5_8","","",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
