  • How does a groundnut oil extraction machine work?
  • A mechanical means of extracting oil was designed, constructed with locally available materials and tested for groundnut oil extraction. The machine consists of the frame, hopper, gear reduction unit and the power shaft. It was powered by a 1 hp three-phase electric motor.
  • Is groundnut a good oil?
  • Groundnut is the sixth most important oilseed crop in the world. It contains 48-50% oil and 26-28% protein, and is a rich source of dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins. Groundnut is grown on 26.4 million ha worldwide with a total production of 37.1 million metric t and an average productivity of 1.4 metric t/ha (FAO, 2003).
  • How to promote quality groundnut seed production?
  • Contract seed production: as the local seed sellers constitute the major source of groundnut seeds, they could promote quality seed production through contract farming of improved varieties. However, both farmers and traders need to be educated in the technical aspects of groundnut seed production, processing and storage.
  • How much oil can be extracted from groundnut?
  • Oil extracted from groundnut by traditional means can produce about 20-30% from the groundnut whereas the mechanical methods will yield a higher percentage. A mechanical means of extracting oil was designed, constructed with locally available materials and tested for groundnut oil extraction.
