  • Why is peanut production important in South Africa?
  • Peanut production in the Republic of South Africa (RSA) is important for both commercial and communal farmers for the provision of plant protein and oil.
  • How much peanut is produced in South Africa?
  • Peanut production in RSA varies between 80 000 and 250 000 tons per annum with most production coming from the commercial sector and mainly farmers in the Northern Cape, North West and Free State Provinces. South Africa’s highest peanut producing area is along the Vaal River
  • Which groundnuts are suitable for production in South Africa?
  • Suitable soil forms are Avalon, Bainsvlei, Clovelly, Hutton, Pinedene and Glencoe. Runner type groundnuts are unsuitable for production in South Africa because of the longer growth season and the higher moisture requirements of these types.
  • Why does South Africa Import groundnuts?
  • Imports occur partly due to the seasonality of local groundnut production, but in recent years also due to a shortage of local groundnut supply as a result of the severe and persistent droughts in the main groundnut producing regions. Groundnut crushing and groundnut oil production are very small parts of the South African market.
