Africa Crop Groundnut - Harvested Area

<div>Groundnut (<font color='#4d4d4d'><span style='font-size:14px; background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);'><i>Arachis hypogaea</i></span></font>), also known as peanut, is grown around the world in a broad region between 40 degrees north and south latitude. Originally from South America, major producers of groundnut include China, India and the United States. Producing 30% of Africa's total, Nigeria leads the continent's production followed by Senegal, Sudan, Ghana, and Chad. Groundnut is a valuable source of protein and oil. It has the additional benefit of enriching depleted soils by converting nitrogen from the air into a form that is required by most plants.<br /></div><div style=''><br /></div><div><div style=''><font size='4'>Dataset Summary</font></div><div><br /></div><div>This layer provides access to a 5 arc-minute (approximately 10 km at the equator) cell-sized raster of the 1999-2001 annual average area of groundnut harvested in Africa.
