World peanuts production

Peanuts are a globally important oilseed valued as a source of high-quality cooking oil. Peanuts are also appreciated worldwide as an affordable, flavorful and nutritionally dense snack food.

India, China and Indonesia have the largest peanut-growing areas in Asia, while in Africa the major producers are Nigeria, Senegal and Sudan. In the western hemisphere, the United States, Brazil, and Argentina are the leading peanut producers.

Seventy percent of the world peanut production occurs in the semiarid tropics. The average yield of peanuts in the semiarid tropics (0.8 t/ha of dried pods) is lower than the world average (estimated at 1.1 t/ha of dried pods in 1985) and much lower than yields of over 3 t/ha obtained in the developed countries.

Over 55% of the United States crop goes into peanut butter manufacture: the other 45% is distributed between candy, salted nuts, confections, bakery, items and peanuts crushed for oil.

However, in term of world consumption nearly 70% of the world peanut crop is used for oil product and peanut oil accounts for 20% of the total vegetable oil consumption.

Cereal crop of millet

Millets are native to Africa or Asia and have been cultivated for more than 6000 years.

Millets consists several grass, it does refer to a single grain. Millet is the collective name for a number of cereal species of importance as food crops in tropical and subtropical countries or as forage crops in more northern climates.

Millets grows well in arid regions with poor soils and are valued for their relatively high protein content among the cereals.

Important millet species include: Eleusine coracana (finger millet), Setaria italica (foxtail millet), Echinochloa crus-galli (Japanese barnyard millet), Pennisetum glaucum (pearl millet), and Panicum miliaceum (proso millet).

Finger millet was domesticated in north eastern tropical Africa. It is now a staple in the eastern and central parts of the continents.

Millet forms only 1.5% of the total global cereal crop and is primarily grown for food.

In some parts of Africa and India, where millet has for centuries been an important cereal crop, the grain had multiple applications.

It may be boiled and pounded into a porridge or mush, or it can be ground into flour, formed into thin disks with water, then cooked on a hot surface to make one form of the Indian flatbread called chapatis.
