4. General Introduction Groundnut is an important grain legumeGroundnut is an important grain legume Is a good source of protein and high quality oilIs a good source of protein and high quality oil Groundnut is capable of fixing atmospheric Groundnut is capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen which can benefit a succeeding crop Groundnut is generally drought tolerantGroundnut is generally drought tolerant There is a gradual shift from using groundnut as oil toward confectionery productsThere is a gradual shift from using groundnut as oil toward confectionery products

5. Confectionery Groundnut The target for confectionery groundnut is manufacturers of “Ntake Burger”, pebbles and those who sell roasted groundnut. They have sweet taste and good flavour The seeds are exceptionally big

16. 2.High Oil content groundnut evaluation Groundnut oil is a high quality edible oil It commands high price on the international market Groundnut seed with 50% or more oil content is regarded as having high oil content
