This study sought to enable SNV-Zimbabwe identify and understand the groundnuts value chain dynamics regarding actors (from farmers to firms), channels, markets trends, viability and production and consumption trends. 

Such an understanding would inform SNV’s overall exploration of ways to support groundnuts production and productivity through, inter alia, enhancing private sector participation and increasing the number of smallholder farmers pursuing groundnuts production on a commercial basis under the RARP CSF Oilseeds component and for the benefit of other agencies and actors who wish to intervene in this sub-sector.
