The production of groundnut pod and haulm is one way of addressing the challenge of scarcity of livestock feed as well as improving the incomes of small-scale farmers. This study examines the revenue associated with groundnut pod and haulm production, using data obtained from 253 participating farmers. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed that average haulm yield ranged from 551 to 1,364 kg ha -1 while the average pod yield varied from 1,208 to 1,580 kg ha -1 . Revenue obtained from sales of haulm and grain was sensitive to price movements and differed significantly across locations and from season to season. The average revenue from haulm was lowest at US $75.8 ha -1 in October to December and highest at US $215.7 ha -1 in July to September. Similarly, the average revenue from the sales of pod was lowest at US $447.6 ha -1 in October to December and highest at US $616.3 ha -1 in July to September. The study concludes that groundnut varieties that combine high haulm and high pod yields are desirable for farmers' livelihood and should be made readily available.

This study examined the dynamics of groundnut haulm marketing in northern Nigeria states of Bauchi, Jigawa, Kano, Katsina and Kebbi. Using a market survey in each state, data were collected from 101 haulm sellers using chance sampling with the aid of a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to describe the profile of the sellers, seasonality in quantity traded, price and revenue; marketing margin to determine marketing profits; and Chi-square to highlight the importance of the marketing constraints. The result shows the mean age of sellers was 51 years, 99% were males and 79% were literate. Revenue obtained from sale of haulm exhibited significant variations across locations and from season to season. The average revenue was lowest at N71,983/ha in October-December and highest at N135,382/ha in July-September. The major constraints that significantly affected haulm sellers were lack of adequate capital, lack of storage facility, high cost of transportation, lack of shades, high taxation and uncertainty in the market. With the positive marketing margin from the trade, mass cultivation of the high haulm yield varieties and that relevant government and marketing agencies should tackle the important constraints in their states for improved haulm marketing were recommended.
