GROUNDNUTS PRODUCTION AREAS |
Although produced in the entire country, the central and southern Agricultural Development Divisions (ADDs) of Kasungu, Lilongwe, Kasungu, Machinga, and Blantyre are the major production areas. Groundnuts grow best in well-drained, red-coloured, yellow-red and red, fertile, sandy to sandy loam soils. Saline soils are not suitable because groundnuts have a very low salt tolerance. |
