conservative tendency among European buyers, who are unlikely to take any unnecessary risks as regards aflatoxin. An unfortunate and direct economic consequence is that for West Africa to re-enter the world groundnut market (and particularly the European market, which offers perhaps the greatest potential), export prices would have to compete favorably with Chinese groundnut, which is abundant, cheap and enjoys a favorable reputation in terms of reliable supply and reliable quality. Recent prices for Chinese groundnut are on the order of $650 per MT – the same price as production of a ton of edible groundnut (arachide de bouche or ARB) under irrigation in Senegal. This means that the current and foreseeable margins of return are not in any case favorable to the re-entry of West African exports on to the world market, even without regard to product quality and perceptions of international buyers. On the other hand, though the trade linkages are not as established (or cheap) as between West Africa and Europe, the South African market does represent a significant potential opportunity for West African producers. Due to a poor harvest in 2003, South Africa has been importing groundnut from southern Africa and even Argentina at premium prices – over $700 per MT (unsorted and CIF) in Malawi. There may be scope for entry into the South African market once aflatoxin has been addressed by improved management and monitoring of product quality at the crop level. The primary conclusion of this study is that resources should be devoted to improvement of the production chain of the groundnut sector in each producer country, with initial emphasis on production to satisfy national, subregional and even regional demand. While the structural details of such a program would be negotiated on a country-by-country basis – and state intervention is in any case likely to remain limited – common features might include the establishment of public warehouses and/or buying points, at which production would be sorted, graded and tested for aflatoxin contamination and other parameters of product quality. In assessing the current and foreseeable market opportunities for groundnut of West African origin, it will be crucial to build slowly and deliberately on existing strengths (including the availability of improved seed through the current project). It needs specific and focused attention to the production chain – specifically cultivation, harvest and postharvest methods 2
which prevent infection of the product by Aspergillus, and thereby ensure product quality. It is thus strongly recommended that the project and ICRISAT consider the establishment of a harmonized sub-regional program to address the specific technical constraints of smallholder groundnut farmers of West Africa. These constraints currently stand as an obstacle to export development, and put national populations at risk of serious health problems through consumption of groundnut infected with aflatoxin. With such a program in place, a system of product quality certification may be developed over time, in collaboration with national and international analytical laboratories. In the meantime, the project could help to build national and regional trade opportunities for producers by monitoring groundnut supply and price information on local and national markets, and facilitate the diffusion of such crucial information to sector stakeholders via rural radio and other locally appropriate means. 3
