  • Why is groundnut production important in Ethiopia?
  • Groundnut production has supplement advantages in fixing nitrogen for soil fertility and improves productivity of other crops when cultivated as crop rotation with other crops [ 7 ]. In Ethiopia the importance of groundnut production become increasing and has got greater focus at domestic demand.
  • What is the yield of groundnuts in Ethiopia?
  • The yield of groundnuts in Ethiopia compared to other countries is extremely low, i.e., below 1.49 t ha ?1 (CSA, 2021), as compared to average yields on a global scale, i.e., 1.65 t ha ?1 (FAO, 2021). This yield, however, is much lower than the yield that could be obtained under ideal management conditions (2.4¨C3.0 t ha ?1) (MOANR, 2016).
  • Why do Ethiopians eat groundnuts?
  • The groundnut crop has high nutrient requirements and removes more nutrients from the soil (Kabir et al., 2013). However, Ethiopia's groundnut crop is almost entirely grown without or with few soil amendments, similar to most groundnut production in other parts of Africa. Therefore, optimizing the nutrient supply is vital for groundnut production.
  • What raw materials are required for groundnut oil production?
  • The principal raw material for groundnut oil production is groundnut seed, which gives 44.5-50% oil and 50-55% meal. All other raw materials are also found locally. A. RAW AND AUXILIARY MATERIALS
  • Why is groundnut production so limited?
  • But, against its importance little attention was given by farmers, government, and researchers for groundnut production and marketing in the study area when compared with other crops grown in the area. Groundnut production and its level of production are too limited caused by a lack of production technologies like improved groundnut seed.
  • Where are groundnuts grown in the western Oromia Region?
  • The study was undertaken in the western Oromia region, Ethiopia. Four zones (Horoguduru Wollega, East Wollega, West Wollega, and Bunno Bedele zones) were purposively selected depending on their groundnut production potential in the western Oromia region.
