abstract: Afl atoxin contamination is the most important food safety concern in
several important crops and poses a threat to the health of consumers and
the economic well-being of poor farmers in Mali. To better understand
the prevalence of afl atoxins in groundnut value chains in different
agro-ecological zones, investigations were carried out during 2009-10.
Groundnuts taken at harvest from 90 farmers fi elds in 90 villages, in
three agro-ecological zones, were tested for afl atoxin contamination. We
observed the highest contamination, 172 μg/kg, in Kolokani (the most
drought prone of the areas sampled) followed by 76 μg/kg and 35 μg/kg in
Kita and Kayes, respectively.
